Are you trolling, or do you really fail to understand that the concepts 
of *testing a GUI's functionality* and *asking users what sort of 
interface they want* are independent concepts?

Let's put it this way...

"Nobody is talking about using automated testing to find out what command 
line switches users want on their command line tools."

"That's the trouble. What's the point of a CLI, then?"

Do you see the difference now?
