Console Applications VS GUI Applications

What do you prefer? Console Applications or GUI Applications?

I prefer Console Applications.

My reason: They are slightly faster, takes up less resources, and I think they are pretty bad ass. You can do almost all the same things you can with a GUI application. You just have to do it programatically, which makes it more fun to program.

What do you prefer?

Edit:
This might help programmers with what the users want.

Edit #2:
Console Application - "A console application is a computer program designed to be used via a text-only computer interface, such as a text terminal, the command line interface of some operating systems (Unix, DOS, etc...)"

GUI - "graphical user interface: a user interface based on graphics (icons and pictures and menus) instead of text; uses a mouse as well as a keyboard as an input device"

For me it depends on what kind of program is being created. If it's a commercial program where you want to make things as SIMPLE and CLEAN as possible, not to mention ATTRACTIVE, then GUI. If it's a program that can be a bit more complicated, I would go with console. Especially if there are a lot of commands in a program, programming visual applications is a pain in the ass, especially if there's a lot of commands and stuff that people can interact with. It's way easier to make a class to parse text based commands, than making separate functions for each button pressed, passing visual items by reference to add data, etc.

For me I prefer GUI applications, its always nice to have a good GUI to go along with a good program.

But if im making something say, more complicated, and it wont be released to the public, I will use console.

Or if im making something where a GUI would be pointless, then it will be console.

The only real reason I believe there is to omit a GUI is if there is absolutely 100% no need for it. i.e. when managing a server, if you have a process you need running autonomously 24/7 there's it isn't necessary to include GUI. If however, you require user input to operate, there's no real reason not to include it. We live in the second decade of the 21st century. The associated issue of speed in 99.99% of circumstances is non-existant.

Console one's go faster :D
