Is it possible you are agreeing with the author?

> Most of my utilities are console command line utilities instead of full GUI and they are very cumbersome to use. That's because I prioritized the dev experience over the UX.

As the user you prefer command line utilities, and so I interpret your building command line utilities as prioritizing the user's experience.

On the other hand, if you needed a program that could exist very efficiently as a command line utility but, desiring to learn how to use some new GUI toolkit you built a GUI instead, I might interpret your action as prioritizing the developer experience (in which you are focused on the details of the implementation) over the user experience (in which you are focused on the results).

You misunderstood that line, they're saying the command line utilities are cumbersome

Except this is obviously untrue? I can't pipe a window through grep or sed.

When you need to. Other times when you need to pass lots of params and havent decided which ones are staying so scripts are a bit extra time which is not there and when you need to explore in a different way the domain area, GUIs or TUIs may be more suitable. I love what one can do out of simple tools like that and how nicely they compose but if the experience is draining, my brain is going to notice and start avoiding it next time
