> No, the moment you embedd the discoverabilty of GUI it stops being a CLI. TUI exist, and they do offer the same elements as GUI, just with less flexibility because text and so. But TUI serves a different purpose. You can't automate spatial interfaces as you can automate a cli. You need a dedicated way for allowing this, which is the main reason why CLI is so popular.

A command line interface can do with very little screen real estate. There's no reason GUI and command line can't coexist, with everything you do in the GUI immediately being reflected in the command line, and vice versa. This combines the context visibility and flexibility of a GUI with automatability and composability of a CLI. And you learn both at the same time.
