Why would you want to abandon graphical UIs for TUIs? Honest question, I want to know what advantages it might have that I am not seeing.

- HKH2 5y agoYou don't need to run X/Wayland so they can be used via SSH etc. More thought is put into keyboard shortcuts. Theming/customization is easier.
- Aeolun 5y agoMostly I’m hoping that eliminating one source of lag will make my input experience better. IntelliJ is perfect in almost all ways, but recently my projects have been growing and it’s just… so… sloow…
- brabel 5y agoI agree with you on that, which is why I am trying to become proficient in Emacs!! I've been using IntelliJ for many years, but I really want something lighter and emacs is perfect for that: I use it on a Raspberry Pi and it runs as fast as on my more powerful laptop. I use the GUI version of emacs though... I did try the terminal version but it just doesn't seem to make much sense to me (I miss the much more nicely rendered diffs, images etc) when I can use TRAMP to edit files on any machine (as long as you can ssh into it).
