For me it's because it's because most things are faster, easier, and don't change (what you learn retains it's value, and doesn't become worthless when the new hotness arrives). So for me it's the other way around; everything should be in the terminal, with a GUI for that one time you need it (`open .` on Mac to open Finder).

With all the new CLI tools it looks like the opposite to me. For example the ag, ack, rg history.

VS Code still has the same style from 2018.

But... you don't have to use the new tools? The tools that ship with POSIX haven't meaningfully changed since like 2001 and work just fine today.
