Most Linux users would prefer a well-designed curses application over a GUI. You don't have to ask me, just look at what Linux users actually run and share screenshots of. I'm talking about real Linux distro users not Chromebook users.

I've been using linux both professionally and for personal use for over a decade and, with the exception of working over ssh, the thought of using ncurses apps over good old GUI apps is so outlandish that it doesn't even register in the realm of possibility.

Your comment sounds like a meme of how linux users are detached from the real world with regards to usability.
