From a workstation point of view this whole thing looks completely inverted. All the polished commercial offerings are moving farther and farther away from the power user. For those linux/freebsd/openbsd seem much better.
- pjmlp 9y agoNot from a Xerox PARC or ETHZ workstation point of view.
- dman 9y agoSadly I never got to use either of those, so cant fully get the gist of your comment. Could you elaborate?
- pjmlp 9y agoI am on the go, so cannot explain much. Graphical workstations, where the development environment was the genesis of modern IDEs, and the CLI was a REPL integrated with a live debugger, into the whole OS. Think Smalltalk, Lisp Machines, Alto with its Star OS and XDE developers environment. To actually provide better links I need my notes, but can leave you with the computer museum one. http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/input-output/14/347 http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/input-output/14/34...
