I remember similar sentiments among geeks when GUI's became more commonplace compared to command line interfaces like DOS. But the reality is that for the majority of people using a GUI is much easier than a text based interface.
A full-blown general purpose text-based programming language is of course always more powerful, but a task-specific GUI can be much more efficient for the particular tasks they are designed for.

- yourenotsmart 5y agoCommand-line interface isn't simply text, it's a conversational UI. People who claimed GUI lost something were right, and that's why what was lost keeps coming back and it's still with us. Google Search, Siri / Google Assistant, and the prompts in almost any video/graphics/3D-modeling software or other professional packages, not to mention the recent craze in "chat bots", all of those are essentially CLI reborn.
