      It’s not locking behind terminal. It’s just not implementing gui. Which is completely valid since that takes time and effort

        Also, writing a GUI wrapper for a terminal-only program is much easier than writing a terminal wrapper for a GUI-only program.

            What do you mean by “CTA”? How don’t see how “Call to Action” is relevant in this context, seeing how it’s more of a UX design concern than a technical thing. Or does it have some other meaning that does not appear in Google’s first page of results and that ChatGPT is not aware of, and yet “Anyone worth any kind of respect” already implements?

      People are free to write a GUI for it, assuming it’s free software. And you are free to not use a terminal and use any GUI alternatives.

      I mean, locking things behind a GUI definitely isn’t freedom. GUIs are very limited compared to most terminal interfaces.

        it’s just very hard to make a usable ui, and extremely easy to make a great cli interface
