This is because of a small oversight on the FS designers not to allow for

Pshaw. There's plenty of room for metadata in the FS. It just so
happens it's used for storing little things like file modification
times and such. You know, nothing so important as an icon's
position.

I for one, appreciate a decent GUI for day to day tasks. I do not feel

this lessens my abilities. When the GUI doesnt do what I need, I'm fully

capable of using and appreciate my Eterm. That said, there are times the

CLI isn't the right answer. 

Uh. I really don't think that Gabe was arguing agains GUIs. Just 
pedanticly pointing out that there is plenty of metadata about each file 
in the filesystem.
