  • Nah

    • CLI is relatively consistent, UIs keep changing; documentation on how to do X will be outdated extremely quickly and unlike CLI those changes aren’t documented nor searchable
    • GUIs are straight up not documented, you can’t know an option exists unless you stumble on it
    • Even if the GUI is explicit enough to count as documentation, you can’t search a GUI; the CLI documention can be searched for keywords
    • You can’t automate GUIs if the need arises

    I’m not against GUIs in general, but they should always be supplementary to CLI, otherwise you end up with windows
