Summary

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.If you already use the terminal and can't remember or type that fast then this is kinda cool... But, if you have never used the terminal I don't think that this app will bring you closer to understanding the true benifits of using a CLI. Furthermore, I don't think that there will be a review by someone praising the app in a way that suggests that because of it they are in love with the terminal."Why does master Mematron speak of such things? You know what you doing?!"Look at it this way, because it's just a GUI all you get is a shortcut to various commands. Believe me...The info that's printed by Term\\\\\\'s Little Helper is the exact same **CENSORED** you'll see if it was executed in the terminal.A better example of something that turns something abstract to normal users and turns it into something easy and intuitive is, say...take any 3D application...Yeah, you can actually do all the mathematics, algorithms, and coordinates creation to generate a CG model, but how fun would that be? It's quite likely most of us lack the mental acumen to pull it off.But the best example of a command line gui is what else?.. OS X...If you are afraid of the command line don't be...unless you are root, ya can't trash your system by using it.Get used to it kids the CLI (Command Line Interface) is here to stay.
