Best CL applications

Which non-GUI applications do you use and think that are better than their GUI variants?

rtorrent

Deluge master race reporting

cmatrix

yep, we have a winner

i've been learning sc-im. I love spreadsheets for finance and tracking all kinds of personal data. Previously used google sheets... It's a slow transition but one I could see myself sticking to.

I like CMus. It's a simple CLI music player. Does everything I need it to do and nothing to piss me off.

cowsay is better than any gui talking cow app I've tried.

youtube-dl for downloading video from browser, Somehow I'm finding it to be more convenient than using browser addon

ffmpeg

megatools

Too bad mega got kiked with that download limit :(

ncurses saved my life

youtube-dl

MC is very comfy. It's a shame that there is no way to preview images like in ranger

vim

There will never be a master race of faggots.

Chocolatey, Exercism

mpv

IRSSI IRC

* ncdu
* youtube-dl
* ffmpeg

You seem very autistic. Never heard about Excel ?

CL is for hipsters

sour grapes

Checked

almost any package manager

i really enjoy mpd+ncmpcpp

Probably vim

I kind of need a simpler alternative, definitely will try that

git
Every GUI interface for it is shit

IMO GUI=TUI, so I'll be talking about actual cli.

Anything involving file management. (for me, plan9 utils)
Anything involving version control. (git,hg,etc)
Text editing (for me, ed is the one superior to gui)
Program installation/package management (make; brew)
Video manipulation (ffmpeg)
Multimedia playing (i.e. I prefer mpv file than using open in program menu)
IRC (ii, coreutils)
Document making (troff)
Transmission-cli

pacman > any GUI store
ranger > everything except maybe dolphin

cmus > everything except foobar2k
vim+latex > emacs, word etc
also irssi, mutt (although mutt is kinda arguable too)

ROBOCOPY.EXE

>cli applications
l33t h4x0r detected

emacs for every goddamn thing

pvmove

minicom

There could be. It wouldn't be a dynasty though.

what font is this?

ranger is better than any GUI filemanager I've used.

>ncdu
this is pretty nice
thanks user

gnunet

>no UTF-8 characters
what a joke

Fuck GUIs for package managers makes people lazy about package managing

Not better, but elinks is actually really good.
I used only CLI for a few days and the number of websites that work well with it surprised me. Sometimes it was better than in Firefox (don't have to load or render lots of stupid graphics), usually the worst thing about it was having to scroll past a few pages of links that are usually in dropdown boxes. I do have a few complaints with elinks, like not being able to save open tabs and quit, but I like it.
Shame it hasn't been updated since 2012 or so. Do any other CLI browsers compare?

magit?
