I still think it is a very big stretch to go from web browsers (which suck on many levels) to unix bashing. This is a totally legit criticism. I think this connection is probably the most interesting idea I have in the post. Interesting doesn't make it right though. I just know from personal experience when I try to get people to switch away from webapps and they ask "what should I use instead?" I don't have a good answer. I could say "use desktop GUI apps", but that's not really convincing. What would be convincing would be "use this awesome command line/REPL environment!", but I have trouble honestly suggesting that (even though I love my setup) because I know they won't have a good experience with current command line environments.
