Sorry the intro moves so fast. The answer is here:<p><pre><code>    But if web browsers are so bad, why do they keep spreading?
    [...] mainly because the alternative is defective.
    The startup, academic and open source communities all
    have their weight behind Unix, but Unix is a dead end.

Like many people I used to do everything in the browser (using windows, but treating it like a Chromebook). When I became I programmer I switched to Unix and tried to use the command line for everything I could. It was amazing!<p>I wanted other people to share this experience, but couldn&#x27;t make any converts. It turned out that it was only working for me because I was willing to plow hours into fixing problems. For most non-programmers, command line Unix isn&#x27;t a good enough user environment to be a competitor to the web. And we really need that competitor.
