ONE competent, dedicated Windows developer puts to shame the
entire universe of FOSS crapware developers that have tried to do
what this guy does.

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++,

slrn, mutt, mpd + ncmpcpp, alsamixer, git, latex, ssh, and more in a
terminal window.

for short how-tos. Conky for system info. GUI browsers mostly. And of
course the sddm display manager and the fluxbox window manager.

I'm using slrn to respond to this post. It's efficient and quick. What
does DuFuS "think" I'm supposedly losing by using this CLI app instead
of a GUI application?
I think the most common complaint of people using Linux CLI or GUI
tools is that they look dated. I'm not sure why this is such a problem,
especially if they still manage to get the job done, for free, in the
same amount of time.
"Looks dated," seems like a superficial way to judge an application. But
to each their own. I know slrn gets the job more quickly and efficiently
than a GUI app would.
For what it's worth, I've just abandoned Betterbird and Thunderbird for
Usenet since I am convinced that a bug in the software is responsible for
the Usenet problems I've been having of late. Good old Pan works fine with
Blocknews, but everything else seems to have trouble negotiating a
connection. I've decided to just use a web app for my e-mail (which gives
me a more direct access to how the server will handle my e-mail anyway),
and Pan for Usenet rather than bundle both services in one app.
