    @lxoliva what gets one further - image retouching without scripting or without GUI? ;)

    @zoowar also, there shall be a mode in which the GUI *shows* the equivalent scripting commands as you interact with it

    @zoowar totally! the GUI can and should be built on the underlying also-exposed scripting interface!

    Better still, the GUI will use the scripting interface.

    Massively depends on your use cases and user base, though. CLI does not solve _all_ problems.

    @jacobwb though emacs works well in the CLI and in a graphical environment, which is a big advantage for me.

    Some people prefer CLI for other important work as well, such as legal documentation and lawsuits, Eben Moglen uses Emacs, for example.

    @csolisr My observation is that most users are scared/intimidated by/don't like the command line. They need/want shiny pictures to click.

#Freesoftware

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."
