I enjoined the ending paragraph tone. Alien like remark on the desktop app emergence and rising popularity after 2000.

On my end: being born two years before 2000, makes me a desktop apps powered man and frankly I've been moving away from them. I'm seeking order and density so I've moved to the dark side of the spectrum, towards clis.

There's hope in TUI like apps: like cashiers softwares terminals which displays some of both extremes. Until GUI are able to visually convoy meaningful symbols without ever using explicitly written characters, there's little gain in using them more the a solely characters driven interface.

Thise are personal considerations,

Hopefully I'm just a maniac that enjoy that intimate vibe interacting with a machine rather than clicking it.
