> Imagine if someone said "I cringe every time I have to deal with a command line."

People do say this though. People have personal preferences for the software they have to use all day, and most of the time people don't agree on what that software is. And most of those decisions are driven by the type of work people do. I don't expect a lawyer or a business analyst to use command line interfaces, and I don't think they expect software engineers to code in Word...

And the other people, who were discussing the command line, ignore them.

The point is that you can't really criticize something when your criticism seems to boil down to "I don't understand this".

And who said anything about writing code in Word? What are you on about?!


Yes, but when I use the command line, it has absolutely no effect on other users who don't like the command line. When someone sends me a .docx, they've made a choice which affects someone else.
