Not at all.They are 2 ways do the same thing. The GUI can tell you what options are available. The CLI needs you to memorise them, or go somewhere else to look them up.
A lot of GUIs have less options available than their CLI equivalents. Moreover GUIs change more often, requiring you to relearn the actions to get the expected result
Shells can remember the commands you used, commands are also way easier to write down on paper than a list of actions to do on a GUI
And using man or --help is not going somewhere to know the options, you stay in the shell
If you want to know all the features of a tool, reading the manual is also easier than browsing all the GUI
The CLI lets the user automate tasks, giving them more control over their workflow
The cli controls the computer while the GUI controls the user
Why would i use something so restrictive as cli tools when i can change the data directly with assembly?
I issue electricity directly to the pins.
So crude, when you could use a butterfly.
