    CLI is being able to speak a language to tell your computer what to do; GUI is only being able to point and grunt.

        mv a/foo b/bar 🤷

        Definitely not hating if you find the GUI more intuitive. I’m not going to say I use terminal for everything. For instance, I’m using a graphical web browser right now!

        But the more you get comfortable with CLI, the easier it becomes to expand your daily usage to include more and more.

          Would be awesome if there was more software to bridge the gap between CLI and GUI workflows. trash-cli and dragon-drop are pretty useful to that extent, but there is still much that could work better. I want files I’ve touched in bash to appear in the “Recent” section in the GTK filepicker, and stuff like that.
