I find the usage of „i love x“ for x representing something inanimate you surely do not love far more unsettling..
But words tend to get nerfed, and clickbait culture certainly doesn't help. "Slams" in a headline has been reduced to "made a somewhat negative remark about," and "genius" now means "it took more than 2 seconds of thinking." Let's not discuss what "beyond excited" has become. I too would like word meanings not to shift too fast, as it helps preserve culture, especially literature, but the forces are too strong and diffuse to oppose.
So "I love this web font" now just means "Don't think, just click on this link."
I have vague ideas for how I could build something ergonomic, easy, and pleasant to use, but I lack experience in this area, and the focus/energy to experiment.
I'm hoping to bring this subject to the light, and have a constructive discussion. If not me, then perhaps someone else will get inspired.
But inspiration is a fickle thing. If you're going to build something, you might as well be inspired by terminal-style interaction, but it can't be the goal.
100% agree. I believe that if we do replace the terminal, the end result will not be that much different - keyboard first, power users first, APIs that are simple to consume, platform-agnostic. What would make the key differences is letting go of 50 years of accumulated technical debt, that continues to hold back the UX - aka the ergonomics and ease of use.
