Another advantage of using a CLI is that it provides a friction-free path from ad hoc commands to saved commands to messy scripts to properly supported tools. I've ridden this gradient multiple times prfoesssionaly, especially now that I work with a bunch of PhDs who are less comfortable around OSes than I am. It's a good feeling to have such a clean pipeline from "this command/series of commands feels awkward to me" to a reviewed, checked-in tool that becomes a critical part of the team's workflow. The best part is that there's value at every incremental step, so you don't need to invest any organizational effort, which is especially useful in a chaotic execution environment.
