I guess people missed the ":)" so I'd better explain.
Most computers are embedded and becoming both more ubiquitous and
invisble. Most of these don't even *have* interfaces, GUI or CLI.
CLIs are pretty much useful only for developers, sysadmins, and support.
That said, I'd prefer a Mac MPW-style shell/editor where the tools
themselves don't know nor care about command-line editing and vptys are
a thing of the past. Sort of like a less linear xterm with more powerful
cut/paste/exec facilities. Someday I may even finish writing it...
Hm - come to think of it, I guess there is no good reason to put CLI
stuff into the driver. Nor "cooked" modes. Apologies for wasting time.
