Clearly … no. Speak for yourself, but it’s ~~foo~~ nonsense that power-users=text-users.

Diversity. Nobody stops you from leaving openHAB and start using Home Assistant 😉 You are really here just because of ZWave. Sigh.

Now I get you. Please use proper terms. I was talking about [Next generation design: A Paper UI replacement proposal](https://community.openhab.org/t/next-generation-design-paper-ui-design-study/64930), so the maintenance GUI. And you are talking about Habpanel. Please contribute to Habpanel then with your ideas, this is the wrong topic.
