head in hands

For what it's worth, my bosses all the way up to CEO of a 50k person company were all pretty pleased with the working practices I used (medieval things like strace(1), perf(1) and sort(1)) to save thousands of servers' worth of CPU. I'm not advocating for editing code live over SSH but there are still plenty of legitimate reasons to SSH into a server and use UNIX tools.

Since you're clearly trolling I'll leave it here.

My boss (me) doesn't mind me dabbling around in my servers via SSH. Not everyone of us works for evil cooperate.

That's fine but you are proving my point. I didn't say that no one uses shell, just that there aren't good practical reasons for doing so.

Of course lots of people do it because they enjoy it or are used to it, and for them cost and related considerations don't matter. The same way that lots of people ride horses.
