Oh it's 2025 alright.
CLIs are still powerful and enjoyable because their language patterns settled over the years. I wouldn't enjoy using one of these undiscoverable CLIs that use --wtf instead of --help, or be in a terminal session without autocomplete and zero history. I build scripts around various CLIs and like it, but I also love to install TUI tools on my servers for quick insights.
All of that doesn't change the fact that computer usage moved on to GUIs for the general audience. I'd also use a GUI for cutting videos, editing images, or navigating websites. The author used a bit of tongue-in-cheek, but in general I'd agree with them, and I'd also agree with you.
Tbh, I also think the author would agree with you, as all they did was making an anecdote that
s/Take/Pick up/
is not that far off from annoying its users than
s/atlas design/search web history for a doc about atlas core design/
is. And that's for a product that wants to rethink the web browser interface, mind you.
