Sometimes the world can be improved. Most times it's just fine and any suggested external change should probably start from within. There are those who like letters, words, and the sound of keyboard keys. Then there are others who like pretty pictures in big buttons and the click of the mouse.
All this to suggest that perhaps you are the wrong target for text-base interfaces.
But but but... your posts are about you! They're just presented as though it's a problem with the tools. I'm simply holding up a mirror, using a similar language, and suggesting that perhaps you are not the target of the tools you only dabbled with and presumed to then criticize.
Thanks for becoming a mirror (although what happened was you wrote a "mirror" comment of my comment, not me), however I'm really interested in better tools. None of the tools I know fully satisfy me. GUIs are less comfortable and slower than TUIs, of course depending on task you want to accomplish. If comes to thing like Emacs w/ Magit + evil mode which is ~(n)vim and task which is text editing or even maybe code editing - can't really find anything better more versatile and fast.
I'm interested in merging all known ideas (including Smalltalk IDEs) and moving forward.
Perhaps I have higher expectations which I didn't explain anywhere. Hard to tell full story in short text comment.
