As someone that was happy that I could finally afford owning computers with a graphics display on them, this going back to the terminal doesn't stop surprising me.

We still do horses, but hardly anyone is favouring them for travelling around the continent delivering mail.

Kudos to the people that would rather experience that, I guess.

Except that if you've ever seen someone who truly knows how to use a terminal, you'd be surprised how many times faster he can work than with any other UI-based workflow.

This may change with AI, but so far I'm not holding my breath.

I have been around in this world since the 1970's, and have been coding since 1986, I have seen my share.
