Hello all. Please see the script and the picture here. It's still a draft, but can any GUI top THAT for conciseness and efficiency? 
Hopefully I'm opening a debate, not a can of worms!!!

Uuh, I don't read french, and I don't know what CLI is.
Does that qualify for poking with red-hot irons, or just a light spanking?

Good to see you are still around! 
CLI means "Command Line Interface". GUI means "Graphic User Interface". You don't read French, but you can see the result in the screen captures, no? I started this thread because the urxvt is so evolved now that it can incorporate pictures, shading and fading. We are now very-very far from the ancient black console with white writing. AFAIK the GUI techniques CANNOT incorporate pictures, shading and fading. Anyone snubbing or defaming the new CLI possibilities should be tortured until he or she recognizes the truth! 
Poking with red-hot irons and spanking are ok, but I was thinking also of the water- drop for days and days or the stretch-your-arms-and-legs-to-the-limit tortures -- even whipping. Not for you, of course. You're an intelligent person. 
But anything to bring "those people" to see the light, really. Perhaps a forced Bash-101 or urxvt-101 course, too.

I think having images is not CLI! You must first convert to ASCII image background at least.

Hello Musher, I agree with your thoughts about Cli there are some cool programs that are Cli like Ceni, Moc, MC, mpv etc Check out Linux BBQ for Cli based fun. http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/search.php?search_id=unreadposts |

Thank you for the kind words, Musher0. I have had too many things going on at the same time, and all of them have suffered! I have only old PCs, so I still use my old LupuPlus 5.2.8.005-1. I have not used the latest versions of any CLI (I wondered if it was some new Common Lisp Interpretation... ), but I realize that I have to be more active in search of new hardware, and probably a new Puppy to get a grasp on the latest developments. I started using Linux with a b/w xterm as my main tool, but they were very fancy as I had several desktops with Xterms with different colored frames to separate their tasks.
Jeez, that last sentence suddenly made me feel OLD! BTW, Common Lisp is sadly underrated, I have played with SBCL for some time. (Steel Banks Common Lisp) tallboy _________________ True freedom is a live Puppy on a multisession CD/DVD. |

CLI died in the real world when the 3270 screen was invented. The last time I used it (thank god) was about 35 years ago when I was on call and had to use a Teletype to dial into work computers. _________________ "Just think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush" - T Pratchett |

Hello all. Someone (I'll respect his anonymity) has sent me these absolute words of wisdom through PM:

Which reminds me that the time I first saw a Mac was in the office and it (seemingly) was only used to play one game where you had the use the mouse to navigate an object around the screen avoiding all sort of objects and into a goal. The satisfying part was the sound effects especially the orgasmic sounding sigh when you got home. _________________ "Just think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush" - T Pratchett |

@musher0
An absolute gem, love it. Of course there are times when simply "pointing-and-grunting" is sufficient and more efficient, but I for one would be lost without the CLI. |

this is definitely true. its a matter of the best tool for the job: 9/10 times its a tui or cli, but 5-10% is a good estimate of how often you cant do without graphics (i wouldnt love this forum in elinks, ymmv.) |

in writing code! ive used elinks a lot-- even as a tui interface for cgi scripts, but forum software is usually designed without regard for it. im sure it works. |

Of course I was only kidding about using it for forums but like your idea of using elinks to test cgi scripts. In fact for data collection the cli is king. Wget, grep and elinks are great for this without the complications and limitations of the gui. There is of course the other benefit of cli progs, very few dependencies (compared to gui) and will work across distros or are very easy to compile. |
