This is the way most the GUI is built. A new protocol is born and the very end
users demand that I want the developers add a single line into the combox box
so that they can use the new protocol.

The change request looks simple on the GUI side but not the "backend".
In this way, the GUI sooner or later becomes bloated.

I mean, "the Unix philosophy for software design". It is bad for us as most
college and university are poisoning the student with GUI and
rapid-software-development tools.
