> But in any case you cannot go back to a GUI and not have that problem of GUIs being too restrictive: invariably there shall be a need to chain several simple commands that do one thing and that excel at that one thing and that only become powerful when chained with other commands. GUIs cannot solve that.

But TUIs can't solve that either? The ability to pipe CLI commands together when using a tool non-interactively is orthogonal to what UI is used interactively.
