    It’s like Dvorak. You can be ~5% faster once you get over the turly enormous learning curve. The problem is, for most people, that 5% does not justify the huge initial investment.

      Why would it though? If performing an action through the terminal shaves off only 2-3 seconds who cares?

      If I want to open firefox though the terminal I can do that, sure…or I can just point and click on my taskbar/desktop. The time difference is virtually unnoticeable.

      There’s a reason GUIs blew up. It’s not just because of user accessibility. There are legitimate things that are faster or less of a hassle with GUIs and I feel like the Linux community forgets that sometimes. Like using the terminal somehow makes them superior.
