That’s a very specific gripe to make. So specific that you have to acknowledge it’s not going to be a deal breaker for everyone. Which makes me wonder why you’d use the “Stockholm Syndrome” argument — assuming you used it in good faith and not just because you wanted to sound edgy (or some approximate synonym of)
It's a thing that confuses every single person the first time they touch a terminal! Could do without the diction-based ad hominem.

I get that. But it doesn’t mean those that prefer the terminal have Stockholm Syndrome.
The terminal is a UI optimised for keyboard entry. So of course mouse input to move the caret wouldn’t be something that is prioritised to support.
Again, that’s not Stockholm Syndrome; it’s just a different workflow.

You’re the one making ad hominem attacks by saying CLI users suffer from “Stockholm Syndrome”. That was your comment not mine.
I said I was willing to take your comment in good faith. Which isn’t a personal attack.
I’m really not interesting in meta arguments nor using intentionally antagonistic language. And if you continue to communicate this way then I will just ignore you.
