No maybe about it.  There is lots being done.

You obviously aren't looking in the right place.
Freshmeat announces something new for the CLI every day.

Nonsense.  You've seen "links" mentioned here.  It's a
recently developed app for the Linux CLI.

More nonsense.  The fact that you are unfamiliar with
Linux tools doesn't make those tools inferior.  Actually,
the fact that you are unfamiliar with Linux tools should
stop you from expressing an opinion about them.

It's relevant because you said there were no new CLI apps
for Linux.  Or do you wish to change your claim to:
"There are no new CLI apps for Linux... EXCEPT in networking."

Because you aren't really seeking answers.  You just want
us to pitch balls to you so you can bat them away.

Actually, I don't know much about MC either.  I don't use
the thing.  But, if it would shut you up, I'm sure I could
find at least three more file managers for the Linux CLI.

MC has been upgraded many times.

Nonsense.  Many people are familiar with MC and they stick
with it because of that familiarity.  Just like you stick
with DOS -- it's familiar and comfortable.

Have you consulted Freshmeat to see how many new apps
there are for the Linux CLI?

Most (all?) of us have given up trying to convince you of
anything.  You are entitled to your opinion and I am quite
happy to leave you to it.  However, when you push your
erroneous opinions as fact, I must reply to prevent other
readers from getting the wrong idea.

Cheers,
