Surprised about this one:

Are there really devs out there who use exclusively AWS console and not CLI tools? In my experience, AWS console is useful but inadequate for many day-to-day tasks. For example, S3 is way easier to use via some sort of FUSE filesystem. Cloudwatch logs viewer interface is atrocious, etc...
And if you are a part of the team it is often much easier to check in “create_foo.sh” script with complex command line than write a wiki page with careful screenshots for each step of resource creation process.
