I think my main gripe though is that there simply isn't enough drive to move things out of the terminal and into a GUI. I really think that a core problem is that once you are in a position where you are contributing to distros, contributing to the kernal, you are well versed and acquainted with the terminal, and you love it's incredible power and efficiency. The cockpit is no longer a sci-fi meme, it's a meticulous masterpiece granting a god-like computing interface. Nobody at that level is interested in much GUI-ification, because, holy shit, this CLI is the best! (Never mind that software engineering is dominated by "complexity and control" types vs "simplicity and automatic" types of the wider population.)
