A rich text-based UI feels like it has all the downsides of a GUI while substantially lacking the upsides.
For example, Tilde. It seems nice and maybe it has nice features, but what about these features is so highly dependent on being accessible through a "menu"? Do you reach for the "menu" all the time? Or are there fancy "dialogs"?
This feels like Vim, but with some strange plugin that provides a "menu". I'd think why not just jump ahead and ditch the quasi-GUI and just learn some shortcuts?
Honestly not trying to be difficult here. I want to understand the mindset, because you are definitely not alone.
