That's a lot of words to say "GUIs, TUIs and CLIs are good at different things"
And most of writing of gnu and fsf are a lot of words to say "free software good proprietary software bad" for example?
That's why we write! :) When I say "I prefer CLI and TUI over GUI" I might need to explain why. And explain when a GUI might be a better option. I write these for myself and my friends and colleagues mostly. I just happen to share them on the internet :)
