Many professionals, not even necessarily in IT prefer the "green screen", because it enables them to do things faster with a few key-strokes, instead of having to click around in laggy menues.

I guess, maybe because you don't know it any better(systems and device form factors), you're trying to correct an already dumbed down(for mass acceptance) interface paradigm, with one which is even more indirect and imprecise.

Yup. Many like tens of thousands out of billions. Makes sense.
Trillions of flies eat shit. Makes sense?
You cannot be seriously thinking that the future lies in memorizing commands and typing words one stroke at a time on a keyboard.

We are already seeing traditional coding evaporate overnight, let alone have people memorize commands and type it like we were in the 19th century.

I can't tell how this is developing, and which parts will be adopted by the masses, if offered at all, and which wont, and how that will change what the few remaining professionals do.

I'm just thinking it's not as clear-cut as you make it to be, as the past shows, multiple times. For whichever, maybe technically unrelated reasons.

Also "use it or lose it" and "learned helplessness" comes to mind.

Tks for sharing your views on this
