Pretty much every quality system administrator I know uses the
terminal. Just about all of the best devs I know use the terminal.
Microsoft added Powershell because of demand. They added Ubuntu/bash
support because of demand. It allows for powerful automation that
would otherwise require writing full-fledged scripts. There is
nothing dead about it.
I think you're falling foul of Deborah's inability to communicate again.
I think she meant to say that the console is dumb, not dead. In a
very strict sense that's almost true, but since we've been using
"console" interchangeably with "terminal emulator" throughout this
discussion, it's hilariously wrong.
