Anything beyond straight CLI commands which I can get from a man page is "power user" territory. You're working with a limited market by going after these people. As I get older, I want less, not more. If I do decide for more, then it's going to be furthering my usage on what has already been available for decades, not the newest shiny thing. Further, I'm going to trust old tools which are still regularly updated over something I would place a significant chance on not being around in 5 years. Developers make good or bad software regardless of the approach they have taken for the interface. There are CLI's which spark joy and GUI's which I won't waste time on. Will building a better terminal make a CLI better? I suppose it could, but terminal choice has usually been an after-thought for me (usually go straight to Tmux, which fancy terminal programs often screw up.) Similar to the last point, building the sort of tools which are going to be central to my work is hard. I'm going to use whatever that happens to be regardless of what I feel is my ideal working environment.
