Tbh, I don’t hate CLI utilities or MC type “terminal interface” stuff. Honestly, if they are well documented and user friendly, I sometimes actually prefer them over a complex GUI cluttered with 20 options that aren’t the one thing I need. This isn’t about people using/recommending well documented, simple CLI tools that make complete computer idiots like me feel powerful and really don’t need a graphical frontend anyway. This is about people who insist on doing everything in a terminal window or in the TTY (and not even having a window manager installed), just for the sake of it, even when it comes to tasks where using the terminal really makes no sense.
I really like the stuff in the middle like midnight commander. Idk why, it’s just the best of both worlds to me.
