I was responding to a claim that essentially boiled down to shells can't parametrize input. How is it even remotely comparable to "the infamous Dropbox comment" to point out that shells can do that better than GUI tools?
Also expecting end users to develop their own file syncing solution on top of FTP is unreasonable. Expecting software engineers to be able to use curl instead of a GUI form is not.
By attitude, you mean not agreeing with every negative comments made about curl regardless of its accuracy. It guess it was just a thinly veiled insult for not being on the "right" side, then.
These tools are Mad Libs for curl commands presented as GUI forms. It does a subset of what curl + shell does while requiring more clicks. The target demographic are people who need to know the tool it's meant to replace in order to do their jobs effectively. That not easier or more convenient in my book.
