Hello,
if there will be more cli than gui apps, I am afraid of the end of Orca
development. If all people will have cli only, gui can be less
accessible. That's only my opinion, I am not saying I am 100% correct.

You ever heard the saying, "the command line makes difficult tasks
easy and impossible tasks merely difficult"?" There is a lot of truth
to that. Often I can, w/a few keystrokes, relatively speaking,
accomplish in minutes what it would take hours for a GUI to
accomplish, assuming it could do so at all, which is not always
accurate.
Of course I'm saying there should be accessible GUI apps for those who
wish to use them. But even in century 21, there are still many cases
where the cli is more powerful. Yeah, there are exceptions, but for
the most part it holds true.

Hello,
I prefer gui apps, because is 21st century, not time of first computers.
If we want linux will more popular, it must have more gui apps. I agree,
cli is better for older and slow computers or if you want work without
spinning computer ventilators, but learn with gui is in my oppinion
easier than cli.
Take care.
Best regards

The topic of using gui vs. cli came up recently. My view is the cli
allows much more individual control over software functions. The gui is
oftn limited to what the developer decides is best for you as to function
and individual control. The gui was originally sold as an easier
way to use computers; which meant in practice the developer trying to
guess how users might want to use it at the cost of greater individual
control.
Menu driven cli software is the obvious middle ground for ease of learning
and using programs, which could easily use mouse input. The
developer could have a default setup for ease of beginner use. But it was
at the time not the new sexy flash bang eye candy which graphics
allowed.
