LO,

If given a choice, would anybody like to come back to a CUI based Operating System...those good old days of UNIX / the 1990's (early) Linux OS? (or GNU/Linux, if it had been associated)

I wouldn't want to keep typing commands for using my computer, i'm wary of carpal tunnel syndrome and other keyboard related problems caused by repeated typing.

Carpal tunnel is triggered by bad keyboard habits (and bad keyboards). Don't keep typing for too long, take regular breaks, use a keyboard which allows your fingers to go to the proper stroke depth.

Mousing is actually worse, unless you have a mouse which actually fits your hand.
