> Its the guy that always reaches for the menu bar instead of learning keyboard shortcuts

I think judging someone based on their computer habits like being a command-line guy versus a GUI guy might be a risky thing. I'm a command-line guy through and through, but my newest boss comes from a different background and is very GUI-focused, and I think it would be easy to assume he's mediocre based on his choice of tools and such, but the results are more what matters.

That said, he seems like a pretty stubborn guy and I've definitely seen some warning signs on being resistant to change.

GUIs have had comprehensive keyboard shortcuts starting with the Apple Lisa and improving rapidly from there. Although they may have atrophied a bit in the man-bun Electron era.
