I was thinking hard if i should post it. yesterday i decided against posting this here. but today i want to. so I'm just going to go ahead and unload...
I think learning the business through using panels and only through panels is probably never going to help one become a good webmaster with big / many operations all being run by him efficiently.
he may succeed by becoming the content creator and or marketer whatever. but he will always have to rely on others who are capable of working the command line and get their hands dirty when problems arise and need solving. and they often and regularly do.
what i mean is, one must learn to be proficient at using command lines to do things and prepares notes and bunches of scripts to do standard things. like developing a system for them or adopting one from a mentor or whatever. now they can be said to be ready to move on to using control panel to do the regular stuffs routinely, with a clear conceptual understanding of what is going on and how to think about all that when something goes awry.
control panel makes boring repainting tasks easy to perform. but it will never replace the knowledge you would acquire by working directly through command line and that is a very important knowledge to have. if one is to stay here handling the technical things of operations.
one is not superior to the other. working thorough command line or control panel. but one takes deeper knowledge of what's happening behind the nice curtain and that knowledge is very crucial to have. that's what I'm saying.
not that one should keep using command line for all their operations even when they need to maintain hundreds or thousands of systems.
***now i silently wait for a barrage of arguments from the control panel lovers***
