With that statement, you've made it obvious that you don't actually
understand the capabilities of the CLI. Both CLI and GUI have their
uses, and it's definitely not the case that a GUI can do everything a
CLI can do (unless you kludge in CLI-like functionality into your
GUI... a textbox where you can type a CLI command isn't actually a
GUI; nobody considers xterm or Konsole or MacOS Terminal.app a "GUI").
(And conversely, there are certainly things that are much more easily
done with a GUI than a CLI).
