The Return of the Command Line

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

Looks like the folks over at Humanized have brought the command line back to Windows in an exquisitely elegant way with a product called Enso.

Enso has beautiful interaction and visual design, as does the Humanized website. Easy to install and easy to use, especially for folks familiar with command line environments, Enso returns a feeling of control and productivity to the Windows desktop. I expect the Enso model will translate well to any computer system with a windowing user interface paradigm.

I’d like to extend my sincerest thanks to the Humanized team, I’ve been waiting years for someone to do a great implementation of this concept. My only request at this time: a ‘locate’ concept so I can eliminate the need to use Window’s clunky search tools.
