- klodolph 10y agoTechnically correct but very few people care about "defaults write". I can't remember the last time I used it, but I do use RegEdit often enough.
- grzm 10y agoOne place I've found it useful is for scripting the setup of a fresh machine, something like this: https://blog.vandenbrand.org/2016/01/04/how-to-automate-your-mac-os-x-setup-with-ansible/ https://blog.vandenbrand.org/2016/01/04/how-to-automate-your... I agree it's likely very few people use it. It can be exactly the right tool for the job in some circumstances.
- klodolph 10y agoYeah, that's a good reason to use it, and it makes sense that the tool is there. But there's a big difference between having a CLI tool for digging around when you need it, and having two separate GUI control panels with some settings in one, some in the other, and other settings in both.
