One more reason to switch to Linux

    Thanks for your reasonable reply and question! As for what I love about UI, it’s simple;

    I don’t have to remember what to enter, just the pathway to get there.

    With command line, you have to remember commands, arguments, syntax, and gods forbid you enter something wrong. It won’t work.

    But with a (decently designed) UI, you merely have to remember the path you took to get to wherever you want to go, what buttons to press, what mouse movements to execute.

    As someone with a limited attention span and energy to do things, this is a lifesaver.

    As for Visual Studio, that’s a development preference. Code is too different for me to be comfortable in it, and relies on command line too much.

      Thank you for responding! I really liked this bit

      with a (decently designed) UI, you merely have to remember the path you took to get to wherever you want to go, what buttons to press, what mouse movements to execute.

      I think that’s very insightful. I certainly have developed muscle-memory for many of my most-frequent commands in the CLI or editor of choice.

      I agree about Visual Studio as a preference. I’ve used (or at least tried) dozens of IDE setups down the years from vi/emacs to JetBrains/VS to more esoteric things like Code Bubbles. I’ve found my personal happy place but I’d never tell someone else their way of working was wrong.

      (Except for emacs devs. (Excepting again evil-mode emacs devs - who are merely confused and are approaching the light.)) ;)
