A developer explains five key reasons for preferring terminal applications over graphical interfaces: consistent Vim keybindings across all tools, easier scripting and automation capabilities, better configuration and customization options, lower system resource consumption, and superior remote work functionality. The discussion acknowledges that graphical applications have their place for tasks like photo editing, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right tool for each specific job.
