I worked with another engineer, who actually did most of the coding of the tool. Heck, if I want some simple graphical user interface to a classical tool, I can, and have, from time to time, written (or modified something that someone else has written) to create a useful graphical tool.Ī good example of that was using the mgdiff color based differences handling tool. I've done a few informal studies from time to time that very definitely suggest that some of the newer tools, while they have some value, definitely add overhead and at times it is questionable where the incremental value comes in. I very frequently use classical GNU tools that go all the way back to their UNIX equivalents. But for really serious work, quite often the classical tools remain the best tools for certain things. Sure, for very casual use, graphical tools and popular utilities have some value. Fancy and new does not always - and frequently does NOT necessarily mean "the best".

Nowadays it is rather exotic, has only 'numismatic value' and is supported (just like DOS) for people, who are unable to change themselves (to learn something new). ![]()
