It’s a poor imitation. A mockery of the name. A GUI addict’s idea of a CLI tool.

      Inline mode only means that the elevated command runs in the same terminal instead of opening a new window. You still have to get past the UAC prompt.

        So if I’m understanding correctly they now let you type a command to open a new window to check your credentials (like polkit?) instead of asking for it in the tty? And the only new thing is that you can elevate your privileges in an existing tty (before you would need to start a separate admin terminal right?)
