Me and three upvotes in however many minutes. Plus all the old ladies at the supermarket who can enter a product code into the terminal without even looking at the screen, because the rules for what element is focused are so simple.
- laichzeit0 10y agoI agree that terminals are more "productive". One of the reasons that the mouse based interfaces gained such traction is that the sales people pitched it as "you can teach someone to use this interface in X amount of time" where X is orders of magnitude less than using a terminal interface. Like saying that Nodepad is quicker to learn than Emacs or Vim. This is true at face value, the trade off is that you pay for it later on as people become productive with it. Alas, cutting down "training time" and the costs involved with this for new employees is something bean counters can measure.
