|
 |
Is it just me?, but I do love getting hands-on with command line stuff, like it used to be.
Now my typing skills are long gone, but I really do find myself more longing for the ways of old, the BASIC language, which one had to enter loads of data just to get a very small result, up to the good old DOS days, and the sparse Linux I learnt at College.
I miss it, I do.
Did one know, that if you enter 'whoami' in CP, it tells you who you are? lol
I'm bored!

This why I like OS X so much. Great GUI+terminal integration.
I even launch most of the apps via abbreviations with Spotlight thingy. In the Dock keep only apps that show notification bubbles and text editors as OS X allows you to drag documents on apps in there

For an avg. PC user or someone that primarily uses Windows OSX would be the only real alternative.
OSX: Was forced to use this after being a Windows Zealot for a long time.. Honestly latest iteration is so damn good, i dont think it can be improved upon. Brew + BetterSnapTool + OSX search feature > that coupled with usual tools and bash = you dont need to use anything but keyboard.
Ultimate: For me, linux preferably Arch with a tiling window manager like awesomewm. If you primarily use vim you basically wind up driving your entire system with vim hotkeys. I can't think of any way to get faster / more efficient than this setup.

bring back to cmdline? Its still there, but hell NO!
PS all the way. (and if you dont know why, you shouldnt use the cmdline/PS at all)
Also: for just a "one single operation" the GUI beats the cmdlets/ legacy cmdline. You can do all you want in PS but that would be pretty stupid, since the GUI is perfect for single operations.
Also: servers have SC editions, so there you go if you want to type everything.
