What's the real advantage of this kind of applications? Every month I see something like hackernews-cli client, twitter-cli client, facebook-cli client. I wonder if is there anyone really use them?
- chaghalibaghali 12y agoI find it quite useful at work - even though things are relaxed and I wouldn't get in any trouble for having a quick check of social networks and news sites, I still don't feel great about having e.g Facebook open in my browser when people walk past.
- ghgr 12y agoFunnily enough I often wonder the opposite. Why have a full-blown GUI when I could easily and efficiently write commands in the CLI version, in a quickly splitted terminal in byobu or terminator? Examples: git vs git-gui, vim vs Notepad++, lynx vs firefox (for quick searches), apt-get instead of "Software Center", convert vs GIMP (for quick image transformations), ls/du/ vs Nautilus, mkdir vs (right-click -> new folder), etc.
