I love cli, absolutely love using it whenever I can. But I totally agree with you. A lot of my own team (including great developers or technically competent people) prefers GUI and I was always surprised at that but I have given up fighting that battle trying to get everyone to stick to CLI as much as possible :). There must be a reason why people prefer GUI even though cli freaks like me don't get it.
- Analemma_ 6y agoThis isn't the "fault" of CLI itself so much as bad documentation, but for Azure at least it's sometimes difficult if not impossible to find the insane CLI command which corresponds to a fairly basic operation in the GUI. So even though I'm very much a CLI person I frequently find myself in the Azure GUI, just because there's no other way to get stuff done.
- znpy 6y agoGUIs definitely have a place. For example, while I am fairly proficient with the git cli and everything, I would never renounce to the comfort of gitk. It's just simpler, faster and more intuitive.
- ByteJockey 6y agoI think guis are more useful for things you don't do everyday. I'm a cli junkie, but if I'm only going to do something every 6 months, it's not worth the mental effort to remember. I could be using that mental energy for learning obscure git subcommands and trying to shoehorn them into random situations I find myself in.
