> My solution is that touch interfaces are a bad design in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I also hate touch interfaces, for all the reasons you mentioned. But saying they're "bad design" is not a solution – it's a starting point at best. What alternative are you suggesting for smartphone-sized devices? Mobile phones did have physical buttons, but once touchscreen-only devices came out, customers voted with their money. So much so, in fact, that smartphones with a physical keyboard are a tiny niche today. That's because keyboards just don't work well with small devices. Using a CLI with a smartphone keyboard would be an awful experience.
