I’m never going to buy/make something like this myself, but I am nonetheless very happy to see this in my feed and read about it. Super interesting, thanks for sharing!

For me the most important aspects of terminal commands is that (1) you are forced to learn how your OS really works and (2) the terminal will always be able to do things that your GUI isn’t programmed to do.

For example, I use brew commands to install brew packages on bazzite because there is no GUI frontend available. I also use it to start ollama LLMs on my machine even though there is a GUI frontend available, because I don’t need a frontend for two commands.

I hope this holds. There have been several such migrations in the past, and they didn’t last. Seeing as it is just email and not the entire OS/software landscape, it will probably hold.
