Uh... Me too :-)

But I guess it depends a lot on exactly what you want to
do. Using widgets with e.g., sliders etc for various parameters
etc is wonderful for exploring various wishy-washy methods of
analyzing data without modifying the command line 100 times
over.

But if you're one of those who actually *know* what you want
to do with your data with 100% certainty before writing your
programs, you should stop paying IDL license fees and go for
fortran ;-)
