I think people in this discussion are missing the point of the article, which is accessibility, specifically to people using terminals with a screen reader. Visual organization is irrelevant if you can’t see it, and it’s equally irrelevant to the screen reader which just reads aloud all text in the window, expecting something approaching prose rather than {[]}# mess. Sadly I don’t think many authors of CLI software even consider that someone might use their programs with a screen reader, and I don’t think the converse is likely either.
