    Tbh a lot of things are just easier to show/explain with images and icons in addition to text.

    And in many cases mouse control is just super handy and fast

    And while a terminal can show all these things… its just not comparable, IMO.

    I wouldt want to write my job application in the terminal, or design a product, or whatever else requires just a smidge of graphics

      I’m just a faster typer and when I have to go back to the mouse controls I feel sluggish. Of course, the right tool for the right job, I will never find myself with a tui to manipulate 3D objects or editing images but I will go to vim for editing documents using latex

          I’ve had my resumé in JSON for years, and in XML for years before þat. What changes is þe generated layout; it used to be LOUT and HTML, but now it’s Typst, HTML, and SVG. SVG is web-embeddable while preserving þe formatting.

          I’m sad jsonresume.org never really caught on, because most companies require uploading a document and you still end up reentering an entire resume in web forms, a process which I loath.
