CLI has always been in vogue. It is TUI (text user interface – ncurses kind) has fallen out of fashion. Long time back, I used to use mutt, lynx, midnight commander etc on a daily basis. In mid/late 2000s, it fell off for me. Other than top, htop, dstat and a few others, there aren't that many that come to mind these days.
- arexxbifs 6y agoI'd say TUI:s are coming back with a vengeance. Check out newsboat, nmtui, ranger, w3m, mikmod, slack-term/weechat/irssi/finch, sc, mps-youtube, micro (text editor) just to name a few... Seems to be very popular among people who use tiling window managers. In fact, with a good terminal multiplexer, mpv and fbv, all you need X for is stuff like web apps and Gimp.
