Just the other day I found out about a study that measured coding productivity. They compared CLI tooling to simple actions. The CLI users _felt_ more productive, but they were not.

Then again, the question is, if the simple action needs to be changed, how hard will that be?

It’s not really about speed (at least for me). It’s about mental friction. Because you’re fluent in your tooling, you don’t spend time thinking about them.
