gollark: My command line is far easier to use than a visual, because it has loads of options and I don't want a GUI with a billion buttons.

Because my IDE is optimized for programming - it has an integrated terminal, syntax highlighting, autocomplete, a few buttons for formatting, git integration, etc, and Word has formatting, embedding images, etc.
