Hi William,

Thank you for your comment. You are correct about Pamac’s CLI capabilities – it has them, and yes, they can be a full-featured Pacman replacement. But what about the other two? Are you sure they also have them? I don’t.

Moreover, I’m not sure that if a user looking for a Pacman GUI is interested in the CLI side. We already have Pacman there, isn’t it? I believe the article title says it all, “GUI Pacman Frontends,” to help users looking for just that.

Anyway, I do want to thank you for bringing this out. Any constructive criticism is always welcome. A minor correction has been made to the Pamac section. So, once again – thanks!

Best,
Bobby

PAMAC also gives you a command line interface, and your article totally ignores this funtionality! This is important when a GUI interface is unavailable for whatever reason. In your discussion of the other two tools mentioned you make no mention of command line functionality.
Could you please complete the article?
