Re: "Why do you like using a cli?"
@norayr The entire concept of using `wget | sh` to perform a task is horrifying to me. Bitreich.org has a satirical example of why it's such a bad idea:
curl -sLk http://bitreich.org/s/bitreich.sh | sudo sh
(It should go without saying that one ought to remove the pipe before running the above command so it doesn't immediately execute.)

Files can still have tags. My markdown writing has `tags: "x", "y"` in the header. For flashcards I use recfiles (plain text database).

It's generally a lot faster to type "sudo apt install" than it is to go find an app in some store. It's MUCH faster to edit files with sed and grep and vim. It doesn't take much computer to do it. It doesn't look like it was designed to enable illiteracy.
Yeah so my reason is because it actually works
So many projets needing to be packaged…
The first application I open after login is the console.
How many years since I stopped to launch an application by icon clicking ?

For most people it's the browser, I think. I'm in zsh as soon as possible
