But in general, batching and pipelining are done via a text-based interface. Extremely rare is the teachable GUI interaface where there's a point-and-click way to describe the concept "See these five items I clicked? Do that twenty-eight more times with this radio button family swizzled via a linear sweep."
- samatman 3y agoMy point being, I don't see why there ever should be. A text window is a valid and frequently-included part of GUI programs (I happen to be using one this instant, in fact), so there isn't a lot of advantage in replacing something like Lua scripting with a bunch of buttons and whizbangs. It's been tried for normal programming, and no one likes it. The specific kind of task you described is frequently exposed as macros in programs complex enough to deserve it.

"no-code development" is an entire category of product offerings. People are positively thirsty for being able to do that sort of thing without having to learn to love staring at giant blobs of text all day.
