Discoverability can mean more than discovering features of the app too. To me, I think more about discovering information contained within it, seeing things I wouldn't have noticed in a command line experience. In a complex system like server automation, there's actually a lot of potential value in GUIs making it easier to see correlations between things or notice problems or discrepancies before they become bigger issues.
I've been a command line-first user since the 90's, but I would hesitate to recommend this over other solutions specifically because of the lack of GUI.
