This is a totally legit criticism. I think this connection is probably the most interesting idea I have in the post. Interesting doesn&#x27;t make it right though.<p>I just know from personal experience when I try to get people to switch away from webapps and they ask &quot;what should I use instead?&quot; I don&#x27;t have a good answer.<p>I could say &quot;use desktop GUI apps&quot;, but that&#x27;s not really convincing. What would be convincing would be &quot;use this awesome command line&#x2F;REPL environment!&quot;, but I have trouble honestly suggesting that (even though I love my setup) because I know they won&#x27;t have a good experience with current command line environments.
