I surely used actual terminals for amber and green ones, connected to the DG/UX server in one of the student labs.

Not only was something that we could use, it was quite often the only option, as the IBM X Windows thin terminals were quite often busy with people playing either dungeon like games or talk sessions, splited across 4 xterms.

That is why I don't get the CLI revivalism culture, I lived through the days it was the only option.

You mean you prefer GUIs as natural evolution of CLIs?

GUIs and REPL environments, like on Xerox PARC world.
