An interesting argument in favour of not replacing or updating DOS interfaces with Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) merely for the sake of doing so.
There’s a lingering temptation among those of us in the industry to replace all so-called “antiquated” means of doing things with newfangled web interfaces. And rightly so, given the many benefits the web provides. Yet, I cringe when I think about these two satisfactory DOS experiences being replaced with point-and-click web interfaces.
If it’s a stand alone sort of application and it does its job, then why not?
I completely agree here, I find just using the keyboard to enter data is a lot quicker then using a keyboard with both hands and then having to switch to a mouse to click something. Especially in high-volume environments.
