I love CLI tools, and I think we're just scratching the surface of what's possible. It's really neat to dig into the UI components that charm has available.

It feels as though many GUI-based web / chromium applications are collapsing under their own weight. They're slow and discoverability is bad. Maybe worst of all they're always distracting me with a popup / modal / alert that's unrelated to my current task.

A lot of these issues go away in a CLI, and I think there's a back-to-basics movement forming that could extend beyond the HN crowd.

Yes. Charm is hitting my brain like when I first heard about the idea of web apps as desktop apps (i.e. Electron). It feels like a beautiful paradigm.
