When copying files from one directory to the other - CLI vs GUI is debatable in terms of speed (I'd still say GUI is faster, but let's assume its debatable). But what if I want 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10th file; not all files? It is remarkably faster in GUI: Ctrl + click files I need and drag+drop. Done. Good luck fumbling around with CLI.
CLI nerds are the most annoying people I've encountered. They're myopically obsessed with their tmux + cli workspace and are not open minded.
- galangalalgol 6y agoI like cli for navigating directories, and finding and moving files. Using a graphical file manager feels clunky to me. I do use a gui for other things, like I finally switched from vim to vscode, but file management has always felt more natural in the cli.
