Maybe I’m a dinosaur, but I have been using PCs for well
over 30 years, and I cut my teeth programming on a hand me
down TI 99/4a home computer and Basic. The first computer
interface I have ever used was a CLI, and I have been hooked
on that particular ever since. I have experimented with
writing GUI style interfaces just to get a better understanding
on how they worked, but most of the programs I have wrote
were command line based. I often have several CLI/terminal windows open
at once (when I am using either Linux or Windows), and I
often find it easier to just type in a command, instead of
slogging my way through layers upon layers of menus.
