"Now downvote, hate", etc.. always reminds me of young girls who would always post photos with captions like "Ugly" and "Gross" phishing for compliments. P.S.

P.S. It doesn't have to do with hating GUIs for most people, it has to do with using a terminal efficiently, which often times means avoiding the mouse when possible.
- X4 13y agoHello Justin, yes, but that's exactly the argument I expected. Not using the mouse on GUIs is entirely possible, but your argument let's GUIs look as if they are antiquated technology not able to handle hotkeys or vim motions or anything else you want to improve efficiency. You refer to efficiency as driving point, which I'm a big fan of, although you probably know quite well that you wouldn't use an OS if it had no GUI. The cost of entry into the IT community isn't just time, but capability and intelligence. These are the reasons why still many people are digitally divided and can't use computers efficiently. The GUIs aren't easy enough for them, forget about the terminal efficiency.. You only reach efficiency when you have the possibility to collect enough routine. How will your Grandfather get that routine, when the "cost of entry" is too high for him to master in his age. We're not on facebook, don't expect anyone to go phishing for upvotes. We care to improve the knowledge, efficiency, health and productivity of startup people on HN.
