A point & click graphical user interface is not automatically better than the command line interface.
I'm using a tool with both, but although I have to type up to 60 characters in the CLI, it takes only 5-10 seconds, & my fingers never have to leave the keyboard.
With the GUI to do the same thing, I needed to click on 34 things, each appearing in a different place I had to point at first, take my hands off the mouse to type 4 characters, then put my hand back on the mouse, taking 40-55 seconds.
A point & click graphical user interface is not automatically better than the command line interface.
I counted & timed each at my fastest, most mistake-free.
A mistake on the CLI just needs me to use the backspace key until the wrong letters are deleted.
A mistake in the GUI means taking time to recognize that the wrong GUI choices are up, to understand why or what I mis-clicked on, to remember how to back up, & to decide whether to back up or cancel & start over.
