Heck yea, I'm right there with you. Of course, I'd take it one step 
farther and call just about anything associated with Gnome annoying. I 
must be an alien, but if I am, I'm certain folks on my home planet do not 
immerse themselves in world-eating GUI-desktop environments. They have 
small bodies, oval shaped eyes, grey skin, and an abiding love for the 
CLI.

Nonetheless, I still get caught in the dependency trap and have to install 
them. The main reason: Pianobar.

Yep. Works. Stored in my notes on installing Pianobar, now, too.
