the advanced features.

Yeah, and none of that is mutually exclusive with a modern intuitive UI.

I think you're just afraid that someone will take your toys, but there's
no reason for that. I don't expect someone else to write a GUI for me
but I do think it is quite meaningful to be aware of what the rest of
the world does.

New developers have to come from somewhere.
