Count me in the minority as well!

Perhaps most current users have _never_ been exposed to programming with 
"text", and have only interacted with computers through a mouse and 
graphical interfaces. I believe text interaction is faster but it might 
be just a bias because my brain has never been "programmed" under the 
visual programming paradigm.

On the other hand I think most (all?) programming and software 
development in the computer world happens in the text domain.
