That assumes that you can already articulate the action you are looking for in the program's vocabulary. For people who think more pictorially, they may have a sense of what they want but benefit from visual cues.
- worksonmine 3y agoI don't target specific options, but different words of what I'm trying to achieve, crop/cut/extract as a pretty bad example. It takes me to the description of the option I'm looking for where it will also have useful extra options to combine. I can't say the same for GUI icons, many times hidden behind dropdowns. If I hover it will say select, then I have to find how to crop that selection, behind another dropdown, probably a few levels deep. And none of them searchable. If I need help there's no one place to find a guide, my best bet is google or the website. For both an intuition has to be learned from use, but GUI people act like they were born with computer literacy. I used to think the CLI was stupid as well, but now that I've seen the light I can't imagine going back.
