People want the Command Line?

Seriously are we still talking about this?

In the world of computer interfaces

• command line = tell it in broken English what I want
• GUI = tell it in pictures/metaphors what I want

I don’t want either!

We don’t need to tell it what we want. We need it to give us what we need naturally. We shouldn’t have to interpret our intentions for it. It should interpret our intentions for itself.
