I could use some education on how GUIs actually rolled out to real customers. I was born in 1982, so I am familiar with computers of the era, but I was consistently about 5 years behind the times, being from a very small town and not very well off family. FYI, my first computer was a Commodore 64/128. This article has more than a faint whiff of "new hotness" vs "old crap". They have rushed to the new thing and hate the old thing. Like rushing from Traditional Relational DBs to NoSQL. Whenever you get a new tool, that doesn't always make the old tool useless. I think this article also came well before the proliferation of functionality. There are hundreds of functions in a simple text editor nowadays. I can't imagine accessing them all via keyboard alone, but I also can't imagine losing my keyboard shortcuts while seriously editing text. Programs also added context menus, and more recently search capability for commands and settings. I think we've finally learned some lessons about not throwing old tools away, but I think we need to keep learning that lesson as well.
