I feel bad for the metaphorical user. They were robbed of their tools. We get to keep our shell utilities and CLIs, but they were robbed of tiny single-purpose GUI tools. We get to keep our shell pipelines and perl scripts, but they're getting locked out of their Excel spreadsheets and VBA scripts. Hell, with how things are going even automation tools like AutoHotKey are going to perish. "People don't know how to code" or "users aren't tech-savvy enough for data processing and programming" are bullshit statements. They just happen to not code the way Silicon Valley does. And now these users are getting corralled into caged web apps and experiences that give them no flexibility at all and just treat them like children, all the way from the feature set to the presentation.
