Comment Comment by Kon5ole I also like them so I can mention some things that spring to mind:- Some are very good tools that have no clear GUI superiors. Vim, Emacs, Mc for example. GUI wrappers over these don't make them better.- Efficient, meaning fast and limited in scope so you can learn the whole thing.- The muscle memory you develop is transferable to any new platform or OS you use.- Often free and OSS so they can't be taken away, making the muscle memory a long-term investment.- If you work in the terminal for any other reason there's less context switch. parent Kon5ole 2 months ago
