I'm a long time vim user and terminally terminal as well. I also feel very mixed On one hand I'm really glad more people are coming over. There's been an explosion in TUIs and it's helping that people understand how important UX and visual design is. On the order hand I'm annoyed as things move from unix philosophy and it feels like people are just trying to make terminals GUIs. The beauty of the CLI is its power. I'll give up the UI because it is so powerful. The learning curve is steeper but it's not that bad once you get used to it. And since so many people go through the same experience there's a shared language across many different tools. Maybe an obvious example of that is how people conflate "vim mode" with using hjkl for movement. Even `set -o vi` in bash is more rich of an experience than what many people think "vim mode" should mean, at least to a vim user. But lots of that shared unix language is getting lost and I'm not a fan of those tools | ||
