Actually I think a lot of command line interfaces really suck. There’s so many command line design innovations that came since the 90s yet the core tools hadn’t adopted anything. Just take a look at find vs fd, one is unix relic and the other one is new Rust rewrite and it’s bloody brilliant.
The problem with CLI that that they are programmable and people are afraid to change this because of legalcy cruft - which stops innovation. Where GUI’s have changed drastically 20 times since 90s CLIs hadn’t changed much at all. You could argue that “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” but as we’ve seen with find vs fd that you should fix it.
