I'd be interested to see what everyone else has to say. But from my point of view, CLI will always be more efficient. Anything on top of that will only make accomplishing the task slower. Why would I use a GUI when I can automate the task with a script?

It depends on the user, but I find myself with multiple terminal windows open at a time throughout the day. Anytime I get stuck in a GUI app, I feel like I am wasting time.

This is really more aiming at people wanting to try these tools with no experience. Instead of having to go through commandline, typing out your (in some cases pretty big) cl arguments, in some cases having to figure out what each argument does (while scrolling constantly because the help text is 5 windows long).. You just start it up, populate a few fields and hit run.

Maybe I'm just being pedantic.
