Does it have a GUI like windows and mac and linux....etc or does it use command line?

OpenVMS is a general purpose Operating system that runs on VAX and Alpha hardware. Biggest assets are its stability and security.
It does have a GUI comparable with Linux CDE, but most people I know only use it for switching between several commandline sessions. The command language is called DCL.
