Pretty cool! It's kinda amusing that we've gone from TUI (VisiCalc/Lotus 1-2-3) to GUI (Excel), and back to TUI though.
cursor-addressing uis likely have a higher barrier to entry (both for developers and users), so they are not suffering from the regression to the mean that has made modern guis absolutely unusable. that, and there aren't any "ui/ux designers" specialising in cursor-addressing uis.

It sounds like "scim" is to "sc" vaguely like "vim" is to "vi": new program with more features cloning/imitating ancient program.
"vi" was written by Bill Joy in 1979.
"sc" by James Gosling in 1981.
sc-im claims to be based on "sc".
It's a direct lineage unrelated to GUI spreadsheets.

#54Btw SCIM is the name of the standard for cross-domain identity management. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_for_Cross-domain_Iden... Might affect searchability.

Not really. There is an ancient curses-based spreadsheet program called "sc" (spreadsheet calculator). It sounds like "scim" is to "sc" vaguely like "vim" is to "vi": new program with more features cloning/imitating ancient program. "vi" was written by Bill Joy in 1979. "sc" by James Gosling in 1981. sc-im claims to be based on "sc". It's a direct lineage unrelated to GUI spreadsheets.
For those who don't know, James Gosling invented a popular VM-based "write once, test everywhere" programming language named after a tree. Then named after a coffee.

Depends where you look.
