Most devs that I know prefer CLI over GUI, even when GUI makes their life easier. But a GUI typically doesn't make life easier. The things I choose to do on the command line, I do there because the experience is better. I can type a few commands separated by semi-colons and hit enter, faster (by far) than I can move the mouse pointer halfway across the screen, select some drop down menu, pick an item, move to a different part of the screen, click a button, then move to the bottom of the screen and click a "Go" button. And even if the GUI has proper keyboard shortcuts, I can still, as a general rule, get things done faster using a good CLI. And I don't see anything about my personal experience with HN that would be improved by any changes to the CSS, or any added Javascript. This does exactly what I need it to do as is today. Maybe developers don't so much love boring design, as they oppose design which amounts to "change for the sake of change", and which prioritizes aesthetics over functionality.
