And it should be like this, in the early days of GUI it was a mess and in many places still is, but people understood how to use it properly - eg as a "frontend" part of an application "kernel". So in my view GUI is not harmful, but completely the opposite. It gives you tons, tons of possibilities and improvements. If used sensibely, of course.

On my Linux box I'm running the Awesome WM, and I don't see how anything could possibly be better than it (or anything that works similarly, obviously). I open terminals, neovim, etc. in tiling mode with the WM automatically arranging things according to my settings. Much like tmux etc. Firefox opens in full screen on a separate tag, automatically. As does VSCode. If I want to run something that fits best with a floating window style I can set that up on another tag and it's all automatic. I stay in one WM/mode the entire time and move seamlessly between whatever tool I want to use and I use that tool in the manner it's best used in. What could be better?
