So you are saying Imagemagick is the wrong tool for any job then? (I ask this because the OP didn't reference any particular task). I would disagree with that

So you are saying Imagemagick is the wrong tool for any job then? (I ask this because the OP didn't reference any particular task). I would disagree with that. Like many media-related command line tools, it does a lot and therefore has a fairly involved command line interface, but I have found it very useful over the years for processing multiple images (and sometimes even just individual ones).
