I think you vastly under estimate the usage of command lines by developers. Not to mention opts and admins.
I don't think there is a week that has passed in the last 10 years that I haven't used the command line for something.
To the point of the article, it sounds like the client will handle the work the server once did in parsing the navigation and path commands.
Though the lack of symlinks sounds like it would be the a more painful loss than ".."
Both of these would likely require many *nix utils to be changed to be compatible.
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoI'm not so sure. I can go a week and not use one. And lately its not been a win - the shell didn't get me anything.
- ashelmire 8y agoA week! If I go an hour without using the command line, then it's because I'm not actually coding.
- BenjiWiebe 8y agoI actually code in the command line, usually. Vim.
- paulddraper 8y agoTerminal, not command line.
- meschi 8y agoTerminal emulator, not Terminal.
- paulddraper 8y agoWhat does it matter if it is emulated or real?
- ams6110 8y agoOther than the web browser, I can go weeks without accessing any other GUI on my desktop.

- kiriakasis 8y agoMaybe it is just that I overuse the internet, but if you have simple needs web interfaces are actually really good. most of them are broken, but to navigate a media list (photos, movies, albums, pdfs etc. (maybe not text file)) the most comfortable interfaces are often web.
- xyzzyz 8y agoI view all of these in my web browser. I don't store these locally.
- parliament32 8y agoMore like 15 minutes, but I get your point. It's possible parent is some super-junior developer doing compartmentalized tasks and never leaving the IDE, but for anything past that avoiding the CLI and remaining productive is basically impossible.
- koblas 8y agoAfter developing on unix variants for over 20 years, I can say that most people developing software do not use the command line. I see this every day... Even skilled developers run from command line git and into a GUI tool, instead of really understanding the tooling they're using.
- pbhjpbhj 8y ago`history` tells me I used 17 commands this evening, I'm a plain old user in relative terms here [my day job only requires computers for accessing social media].
