The fact that so many people are discussing their terminal just confirms the fact that a terminal is incredibly basic.

No. It. Doesn't.

The whole conversation came from someone claiming the most basic feature of an IDE is to include a terminal - that's why people are discussing terminals.

Don't get me wrong, I live in the terminal when using the computer, but I don't see a need for one when using Xcode.

Call it a task runner shell, if you like. What makes a development environment integrated, if not the ability to launch and manage external processes?

English is not my first language, but do you mean "foundational" instead of "basic"?

By your logic (that many people discuss) web browsers are "basic", IDEs are "basic", programming languages are the most "basic" thing (how many of them! discussions are limitless!!).

EDIT: have the gut to explain yourself instead of downvoting ;) , I am not discussing in bad faith , but you do you.
