some programs that he couldn't find in the menu.
He did mention that he found it odd that there were less programs, (he
remembered there being more programs), but they were almost all locatable in
the menu, and i specifically remember him mentioning this to me.
The menu structure is a different problem. There is no reason why "not
GUI" should equal "not in the menus". For my money, if I deliberately
install a program I want to see it in the menu whether it's GNOME, KDE,
or CLI.
Exactly. If a CLI program is not used regularly, it is easy to forget
the exact spelling or syntax if it's not in the menu, even for a
programmer like myself.
So I add almost all programs installed to the menu, if missing.
A lot of CLI programs have internal menus, and thus are readily usable
by even novice users.
