to some extent, curl and wget are off-the-shelf power user web browsers. And lots of folks script up custom spiders for headless web browsing.

- robenkleene 7y agoAgreed, but that's similar to doing a find-and-replace with `sed` versus doing it in your text editor. Even with a CLI that can do find-and-replace there's still a lot of times you'd want to do it within your GUI text editor. It's the same for me with the web browser and the uses cases I listed in the post. I'm curious why other programmers aren't as interested in these workflows as I am.
