        rm is like “delete permanently”, trash-cli is like regular delete - it moves to the trash bin. Many people like making an alias so rm runs trash-cli to prevent accidentally permanently deleting data

        rm deletes files the normal way everyone who actually knows unix expects it

        trash-cli tries to bring the comfort of windows to linux for the crybabies who like to delete files so recklessly that they end up screwing themselves later. (the same people who don’t ever take backups or snapshots)
