Why did we stop making full-screen terminal applications?
Why only CLIs and GUIs?

I totally miss DOS applications. 🥺

I feel like we lost so much, when we abandoned the widespread use of text interfaces.
Remember how we used to
I use Midnight Commander, Mutt and Emacs. All TUI, still. Highest efficiency if you don't mind the up front investment in learning the interface.
GUI is good for sales to status-seeking consumers, CLI for scripting. They all have their place...
Everyone is excited about vim, I think.
Vi-derivatives have two modes - "beep madly" and "destroy everything" :-p
(I can and do use it, but I like special key combos more than I like switching between modes, getting called away, and having to figure out what mode I left it in)
nostr:npub1etqwgv34spk6p98s0pa9kp8zntgyevdrcl49eas7mswr8pe5pq4sfj8ues is an emacs fan, I think.
Followed :-p
