No, or at least not for me.
I use terminal because it is the best tool I have found to solve my problems. My problem with graphical user interfaces is lack of customization options and having to conform into certain way(s) of working.
In my terminal I can easily construct the the UI how I want and I can use all the tools as they were intended (of course assuming the tools were designed to work on CLI). I like building tiny and light terminal UIs for to help me.
Data is the outlier. I can wrangle the data just fine using `$EDITOR`, but I have to visualize it somehow. Often I just end up working in a Jupyter notebook (inside a browser) and lamenting how I don't have nice access to some tool. I don't know if this plotter tool will change anything, but I will give it a go.
