  And be grateful that we didn’t start calling is “apping”, even though the term “program” is effectively extinct these days.

    For me apps are things that are fullscreen-only (on phones, Windows 8 apps, GNOME 3+), while programs are small CLI things or complex ones with discoverable GUIs where you have more control over the UI and placement.

    I don’t use tiling window systems - would they by the above definition make programs something in-between?
