I use CLIs every day and have been for 40+ years. I also teach how to use the CLI and I support beginners and advanced users alike.

And while it is powerful - and, arguably, necessary in my field - the CLI also sucks.

There's no discoverability. Users live in constant fear they will break something and never even notice.

The CLI is fine *as a complement* to a GUI. Lean into its strengths. But it was never a viable interface for computing in general.
