I been saying this for years, and it's really nice to see someone say this too while also not getting 1000 downvotes. I shed a tear of joy for the new generation

I forgot to mention, Serial Experiment Lain was sweet too, though it's been like 20 years since I'd seen it

I didn't say it should be taken away, did I?

My first computer was all terminal, all the time. It was called the Commodore 64. After that, MS-DOS on an IBM PC (& compatible). I can do the typity-type. But most new adopters of tech aren't using terminals or command lines... they're using touch screens and voice commands.

Microsoft and Apple adapted, making their graphical user interfaces more robust, user-friendly, and compatible with modern workflows.. and in turn, those workflows evolved syncretically. The terminal, or command-line, is still accessible, but it's no longer the primary method for installing or accessing programs.

No Linux distribution that I know of has reached the same level of usability, and I think it's because Linux is a platform built by nerds, specifically for nerds to use. I'm a massive nerd myself, but I can see how a lot of new users, who are used to being able to use their computer with just a mouse, would feel excluded and unable to invest the time to learn to adapt.

There's no need for bad faith replies; there is nothing attacking nor scathing in my words.

Is my viewpoint unreasonable?

Can you elaborate how Big Tobacco used these tactics? You mention them in the title but only go back at the end for a snippit

Pretty sure there's been more than two Spidey games since the 1970s; where do they get off calling it Spider-Man 2?

I'm having trouble seeing your point, would you kindly restate?
