But the argument here seems to be that forcing users to use the CLI will make them use the more powerful features that they won't otherwise use with a GUI that's good enough for them. Or something like that. The useless analogies in the article don't help.
- ArbitraryLimits 15y ago"A lot of programs already do that." That's my point - in my book this is a solved problem. The GUI vs CLI thing tends to be a religious argument, which (in computing) always means that you actually want both. I agree the original article is pretty nonsensical, I was just trying to prevent my having to read an overly familiar argument again.
