- mattmanser 10y agoYes, the mouse + GUI is a lot more usable to me than typing in a CLI. The command line is from when we had terminals. And worse still, yes, that's the case for most people. Most people prefer using mice + GUIs. Why are we going back in time? Why can't we have tools that work as both GUIs and CLIs? CLIs are great for automation (and keyboard obsessed users). GUIs are great for discoverability and making it obvious to users what the 'normal' usage is. It's absolute madness to go back to the days of CLIs.
- cygned 10y agoI'd disagree here. All the most productive developers I know make heavy usage of the CLI, and some of them, including me, are even developing in it with tools like vim or Emacs.
- mattmanser 10y agoSelf-selecting a bit there... Productive developer! Have you considered that part of the problem is the stack you use causes other people to be unproductive because it's not clear what all the tools you're using are doing?
