I am not the most ardent supporter of LLM, but the whole article reads like a critique of macOS idiosyncrasies and its aversion to CLI and text format. Why does macOS tell you to use the GUI so much?
Sure, GUI is more accessible to the average users, but all the tasks in the article aren't going to be done by the average user. And for the more technical users, having to navigate System Settings to find anything is like Dr. Sattler plunging her arms into a pile of dinosaur dung.

- piva00 7mo agoPower users can use CLIs quite easily on macOS. The official documentation is geared towards the non-power users but information about most tasks a power user wants done in a CLI are available, it just requires a power user skill of searching for it. It's a good filter, keep it simple and easy for the vast majority of people, and have tools for the advanced ones to use.
