I think CLI tools can help compartmentalise functionality and that can be helpful. But I think they can also obscure functionality the same way as a GUI tool.

I think CLI tools can help compartmentalise functionality and that can be helpful. But I think they can also obscure functionality the same way as a GUI tool. Take git for example, it’s much easier to visualize how it works from a GUI. Squashing is also faster in a GUI. But some other operations are clearer when you’re giving every flag yourself. Ultimately I think it comes down to the UX of something regardless of the form of UI it’s presented in.
