    Files are a mistake and destroy all structure information.
    You don’t have guarantee nobody touched your file, we should database that keep structure information instead.

    Command Line is the minimum effort human interface, if we had more time/skill to make interface, the cli wouldn’t exists.

      What is your definition of file and database? For example, do you think SQLite is a database, and a SQLite database file counts as a file? Do you think that editing SQLite or PostgreSQL with a third party client counts as touching a file?
