Given all of that, and also Oberon -- '80s too, and even the Engelbart's Demo -- '68!, I totally every day wonder and can't understand why in 2010's
all of the "modern" OSes still provide the developer just with text-only consoles??... okay, maybe for end-users there
was a jump (in interfaces and features), and maybe it was significant indeed (movies editing, 3d modelling/sculpting, possibility of instant communication with significant fraction of all the people in the world, to bring up some). But it still feels like even for them, some things were there, and now are not (sorry for vagueness, but I don't have much time now to think about examples, unfortunately. When I'm gonna finally start this blog thing, one day...).
Any theories, anyone? I'm really curious. Still believe this can be improved, and work on some ideas in my free time, but I often wonder why I have to, and I can't already use those beautiful ancient features?
