Along with other apps, the creator has worked on it since 1999. ONE

It doesn't prove squat, GUI-boi.
You're mocking him for enjoying a GUI? What decade are you in?

The 2020's, where I can use vim, gnu autotools, meson, gcc/g++, clang/clang++,
slrn, mutt, mpd + ncmpcpp, alsamixer, git, latex, ssh, and more in a terminal
window.

I do use gvim when I want edit two or more source-code files side by side.
Use zathura to read PDFs. GIMP for photo-tweaking. Libreoffice for short
how-tos. Conky for system info. GUI browsers mostly. And of course the sddm
display manager and the fluxbox window manager.

I have to admit that there are certain things that are a lot easier to
do in the command line. I've very much appreciated the "libreoffice
--headless convert-to ODT *.docx" line.
convert filename.png filename.mp3.
Couldn't be easier. You can do wildcards as well.
Or pdfunite to join PDF documents... tons of stuff like this available form
the Linux CLI.
