Isn't the point of a commandline that it makes basic tools far more malleable? For example, I recently was working with an OCR tool that took as an input 1 image file path, and an output name, and extracted plaintext from the image.

If this were a gui tool, I would be stuck manually running it on hundreds of images at once. As a command-ling tool, I can do: `find . | grep *.jpg | xargs -n 1 -I{} | tesseract '{}' '{}'`
