I grew up in terminal times. I was lucky that, while growing up, I had access to my father's Unix account through the university. Not only that, I do all of my development work on the terminal (via tmux, vim, and spacemacs). I like the terminal. I love keyboard shortcuts. Keeping my hands in the home row -- awesome!
The backspace in the browser has always struck me as misfeature. I've lost data when typing in forms.
In contrast, when I browse a page, I rarely hit the back button. I'm more likely to open a link in a new page when I am doing serious research.
Times move on. Some things are lost, and our civilization is not for the better. This is not one of those cases.
