I'm very keyboard-driven but I never really got TUIs. A GUI litterly can have just as good keyboard support, but because it doesn't force the user to use it, they rarely take the time to learn it. It's just always tempting to take the path of least resistance.

Especially becuase TUIs doesn't really have any of good properties that a CLI offers such as composebility. It's still a fixed UI with panes and menus which has just been squeezed into a character grid, and now forces the user to learn its pre-set keyboard bindings (which surely can be changed, but with every app having it's own config managment).

It's kinda the worst of both worlds to me. Either go all in and give me a proper text-based interface like Emacs (where you can globally configure how you wanna deal with lists of text in buffers), or just make a proper GUI with good keyboard support.

Very much agree on the last point. Controlling the de facto CA for all non-corporate web sites still gives Google a lot of control over who gets to be visible on the Internet, and that’s where the value in LE is. The direct income from SSL certs are completely insignificant.
