To CLI or not to CLI?
That is the question. And the answer is quite simple: you don’t have to choose. In some scenarios, CLI applications make perfect sense, while in others they make no sense. Imagine using Microsoft Teams, Slack, or any tool of the Adobe Creative Suite. Would it make sense to interact with these applications as CLI applications? Of course not! (unless it is for installing and configuring them).
So, the point here is that you become aware of the power of CLI applications, and you start taking advantage of them in your everyday workflow. They are not meant to replace those outstanding GUI applications.
As my wife, Lamia Rarrbo (who is an executive coach) says: “This is not an or situation but rather an and situation.”
