Nothing wrong with it, I think that rescuezilla is trying just simplify the process for lesser tech-savvy people. If clonezilla works for you then continue using that.
But the TUI is simple. If people don’t know what they’re doing with the TUI, giving them colourful flashy buttons to click won’t help either. They should use Acronis or Macrium, then.
Insane take. The terminal is not for everyone or every task. I'm happy to use it for a lot of things but for example, I'm so happy gparted exists and I don't have to do partitioning in a CLI
While you can do command line stuff with CloneZilla, I think what they're referring to is the TEXT-based guided user interface, which doesn't seem to differ much at all to the Rescuezilla GUI, which only looks marginally prettier. However, there's a few other useful tools in there, and a desktop environments, so it's still a bit nicer to use.
