    @kr428 why are you trying to argue I shouldn't be entitled to choose using a scripting interface when it makes sense to me?

    Yes. YES! That's the very point. Appropriate tasks for the CLI. But not CLI for _everything_. Allow tasks to be GUI-only for good reason. ;)

    Easy tasks for siri. Don't ignore that you send those signal to your hand as you move the mouse.

    @kr428 I challenge the latter limitation; I saw a former GUI-only user's eyes shine as he first ejected a CD from the cmd line :-)

    @lxoliva ... seems pointless. That's what I meant: CLI _is_ powerful and a good tool... to a very certain user group. ;)

    @kr428 now, when I write “scriptability” I mean using an interpreted rather than compiled language; think e.g. python, not just sh

    @lxoliva I think it's more about convenience. Ironically, the FLOSS Manuals CLI book introduction uses image editing as an example :-)

    @lxoliva No, definitely not. But it's a matter of use cases. And of user expectations. CLI seems obvious to tech savvy folks...

    Siri, crop that image so the predominant image element is exactly where I want it and adapt the colors to how the image feels! ? ;)

    @kr428 under that light, your argument seems to come across as “there are cases in which users *must not* be offered scriptability”

    Siri, find all the convex hulls for green areas in the image. Siri, how many are there. Siri combine the tress smallest.

    @lxoliva Yes. Same as I keep our servers running just like that. Yet I never would want to use CLI for imaging. It's not a golden hammer. ;)

    You _don't_ use Siri for image processing (that's where we started), do you? ;)

    Siri, are you a "touch operated device" evolved? Siri, can you proxy CLI? Yes and yes.

    @kr428 have I ever told you how much I love to ssh from laptop to phone and send SMSes and make calls from within emacs? ;-)

Primary audience

all, free software advocates, Linux users

Definition

Free software or software libre is software that guarantees the freedom to be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and the freedom to be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things and that manufacturers of consumer-facing hardware allow user modifications to their hardware. Free software in most cases is also available gratis (free of charge). However the focus of the term "free" is on freedom. R. Stallman summarised the difference in a slogan: "Think free as in free speech, not free beer."
