Well, I didn't exist in 1980s. So this is how I feel as a 2000s kid and current software engineer.

I think good ideas are worth updating for new generations.

I agree that CLI and keyboard driven systems are powerful and should be further developed. New terminal emulators like Kitty, Nerd fonts, and Lazyvim show what’s possible.
