Just happened across a blog entry on the whole CLI vs. GUI discussion that sometimes flares up on the intarwebs. Let me first say that I share the author’s frustration with this discussion1, so I absolutely understand the slightly ranting tone of the blog entry. For those of you not in the know, CLI stands for command line interface, and describes software that requires you to enter a command via the keyboard, optionally followed by one or more parameters that further specify what the computer is supposed to do exactly. Most people nowadays are used to GUIs, that is graphical user interfaces, which are most often navigated using a point-and-click paradigm. Both ways of interacting with the computer have their proponents, and some of them seem to argue for their preferred method with a voracity that borders on insanity. (more…) And similar ones, such as which editor to use. The best is obviously vim [↩]
