Yes! We've arrived at "recognition vs. recall" and "a sense of place". https://www.nngroup.com/articles/recognition-and-recall/ https://www.nngroup.com/articles/recognition-and-recall/ I've struggled to enumerate the spectrum from one to the other as I've worked through the impact of GPT on my work over the past year. What the author describe here is a great attempt at getting to the core concepts: * mixing and matching aspects of GUI and CLI in a single unified interface The key, to me, is that when designs combine elements of recognition vs. recall, those designs need to link the CLI and GUI in bi-directional ways such that direct manipulation of GUI objects impact model queries with near zero latency in the CLI while query and manipulation of the models in the CLI show changes in GUI "at once". Direct manipulation matters in both directions owing to perception. Of course, I'm probably describing ancient history in terms of Logo or Borland's early attempts at bi-directional tooling, but I think a tip of the hat and a little retro-computing software is not a bad way to approach the problem.
