The Anti-Mac Interface (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nngroup.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;anti-mac-interface&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nngroup.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;anti-mac-interface&#x2F;</a>) argues for the advantage of text over GUI in a more vivid way:<p>&gt; The see-and-point principle states that users interact with the computer by pointing at the objects they can see on the screen. It&#x27;s as if we have thrown away a million years of evolution, lost our facility with expressive language, and been reduced to pointing at objects in the immediate environment. Mouse buttons and modifier keys give us a vocabulary equivalent to a few different grunts. We have lost all the power of language, and can no longer talk about objects that are not immediately visible (all files more than one week old), objects that don&#x27;t exist yet (future messages from my boss), or unknown objects (any guides to restaurants in Boston).
