Very few power users forego GUIs. Your IDE is (probably) a GUI, your browser is (probably) a GUI, so are many other things.
A more nerdy argument would be virtual memory addresses, automated testing, better compiler warnings, etc.
- busterarm 5y agoI've made a pretty successful career out of just a terminal and vim, which drives 95% of what I do work wise. I only need the browser for slack, zoom and jira. And jira I could interact with through vim/emacs if I really hated myself. Slack and zoom I mostly view as distractions from work. It honestly would make sense for me to use my laptop for browser-based work and be entirely terminal-only with my workstation. Lots of people like us still exist in the workplace. I'm not even 40 yet.
- jgb1984 5y agoSame here! Under 40, and have been using debian, bash and vim for over 25 years in both my private and professional life (as a python dev). Oh and weechat for libera IRC of course ;)
