To be honest I am wondering what these people did not understand about terminals?
A terminal is not meant to resemble graphical UIs with all those whistles and bells! Looks like I am the only one who is wondering :D ;)
- fragmede 4y agoUgh no. Just because choose to use a keyboard-based interface doesn't mean I don't want things like colors and graphics.
- ibz 4y agoWhat is a terminal meant to do then and who says that? Actually I would argue that graphical UIs copied terminal UIs that existed first and in some cases they did not catch up even as of now. See file managers. There is Total Commander on Windows, which managed to surpass the old Midnight Commander in functionality and ease of use, but that's about it. Very hard to find a decent file manager on Linux or OSX that comes even close to mc.
