Outside Linux, on Windows/Mac, plenty of non developers much prefer the "desktop UI" experience over CLI. Some can't work with CLIs at all.
Even with Linux, there are more people -- including many non software engineers -- that are installing Linux on their home computers and may be interested in this.
Bear in mind that HN users don't remotely resemble the general population, or even employees at a tech company -- there are lots of people in finance, business, legal etc who could potentially benefit from this.
- yokoprime 2mo agoi sometimes find myself using the desktop app on macos, but the CLI just clicks more with how i think and its more flexible too.
- scott01 2mo agoI’m a developer, daily driving Linux, and prefer GUI apps. Would’ve used Sublime Text if clangd plugin worked. Hence stuck with Emacs. Open Code GUI sucks compared to their TUI though.
- PunchyHamster 2mo agoCan we instead replace them with LLM ? Surely it woudl be much easier
- ekzy 2mo agoI prefer the CLI but the remote control with the phone app only works with the phone AFAIK, so that’s the only reason I use it.
