No snark
thank you. that helps.
All done in GUIs and done better
could be done, and i agree. but i have yet to find a terminal GUI that actually does.
tmux has a great and useful TUI. all the terminals i have tried so far, have a very minimal GUI. they have tabs, and some have panes that's about it. tmux works out of the box without any configuration at all. i can just build up my sessions interactively. i evaluated kitty a year ago, and i am testing wezterm now. neither are usable without having to manually write an elaborate config file, and neither include all the features that tmux has.
i would love to find a GUI terminal to replace tmux. but there isn't one yet. at least it looks like both wezterm and kitty are working on it. so maybe in a year or two there will be something that can actually compete with tmux. but until then it's just a wish.
Get rid of terminal all together. That's the angle I'm coming from. Problem solved.
well that's even worse, i mean in terms of what GUIs so far have achieved. a GUI that is capable of replacing the commandline has not been built yet.
