A gui is helpful sometimes, but there’s a lot of cases where there’s no feasible way to make a good gui that does what the terminal can do.

Right tools for the right job.

For example, a gui to move a file from one folder to another is nice - drag and drop.

A gui that finds all files in a directory with a max depth of 2 but excludes logs and runs grep and on matching files extracts the second field of every line in the file? Please just let me write a one liner in bash

CTRL+ALT+T NAH Mod+Enter is the best

Super + T in my case, but still…

(shhh 🤫, it’s actually the win key, but don’t let the Linux users hear ya 🤫)

The main reason Terminals suck is the lack of any guides.

Imagine a CLI interface without commands, just selecting. That would still work everywhere and be easy to maintain, but it would be easy to use.

Or just having cheatsheets available

cheat(){
curl cheat.sh/$1
}

That makes Terminals useful for everyone
