Also, I don't think command-line interfaces are comparable to camping in a thunderstorm. They're actually quite intuitive and fun. It just takes a couple weeks of getting used to; then you realize how powerful the command line actually is. Ask a Windows sysadmin how he spends his day; I dare you.
- crazygringo 15y agoI don't know, but for me, "intuitive" and "a couple weeks of getting used to" are not the same thing... "More efficient after a couple weeks of getting used to", that could convince me...
- quanticle 15y agoThere is no such thing as "intuitive" when it comes to computers. All computer interfaces are different conventions. Now, some conventions are so common and so deeply learned, they seem like intuition. However, suggesting that they are intuition presents a gross misunderstanding of what intuition is. "The only intuitive interface is the nipple. After that, its all learned." (http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/08/nipple.html http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/08/nipple.html)
