Many things are faster since instead of wasting time and clicking buttons, you just quickly type a few commands. This is even better as you get faster with typing, you actually realize that it's quicker to just use terminals than a GUI.
I deleted thunderbird on ubuntu because it's downloading all my messages since 2009!
@moheb-rofail based. I'm sticking with NeoMutt, though I heard Claws Mail is good too (plus, it's not a terminal client and unlike thunderbird it's way faster seemingly).
WAIT WTF just got 98WPM. This is the highest I've ever gotten to my knowledge so goddamn I can type way too fast.
