How much extra work would it have been to add a "drag some files to a folder and run publish_website" interface, for Linux and Windows users? Hardly any, given that the functionality is already there.
Not only that, it would make the system more easily scriptable. For example, it is probably easier on MacOS to get a Makefile to run an executable than to drag files to a folder.

- cabalamat 9y agoThe person writing the makefile. Make can easily run executables. Getting it to simulate GUI movements is, I expect, possible, but harder to do.
