    That you can have multiple terminal panes open to accomplish a small portion of the above?

    Yes. Obviously. Two conclusions available to you are, either CLI developers are idiots, or they have tools you are unaware of.

    The answer to “how can anyone work this way?” is out there, if you’re really interested.

      No, the conclusion I’ve been saying is that CLI developers are smart people who have spent a long time memorizing commands to get fast at things that can be done quickly and intuitively through basic 2d graphical interfaces.

      They’re now either in a situation where the gains from learning the new process aren’t going to outweigh the costs (though still doesn’t mean anyone else should follow their path), or they would, but they’re just stuck in their ways because of sunk cost fallacy.
