You make it sound like a chore instead of a delight. Curious.
Yeah I don't think TUIs are a great way to interface with most things. It's a needlessly outdated method and provides an unnecessary barrier to less technically inclined people, and when a GUI interface is present anyways it just kind of dumb. TUIs are slower to execute things with than GUI 99% of the time, and always less intuitive.
I hate this ridiculous nerd trope of loving TUIs, it's getting old and over used.
Maybe your opinionated assertion of what’s better ought to be recognized for what it is?
Your points are salient until you start yucking other people’s yum. The person you were responding to was obviously being good natured.
I'm not yucking in their yum though, I'm clarifying why I have the opinion I have, because they said they were curious. The yucking is entirely your projections, I even start the response by stating it's my opinion and not objective truth.
