Terminal Emulators Reviewed

    Wow, look at all the different ways you can access a command line interface! My question is, where's the article on how to start fires with two sticks? Where's the article on different shapes for the wheel? And how about Domesticating the Dog in a Nutshell?

There is no reason why visual scripting has to be apocryphal, hard to write, and less powerful than piping text into other text using text switches on text files.
