Compare CLI and GUI

Command line interfaces (CLI) exists today as more complicated way to get tasks done by a user on a device. With command line you need to know the exact commands you wish to execute and what the results will be as everything is displayed as a in depth word doc. But this also allows an individual to create scripts which are a preplanned list of instructions that the device will implement in order if everything is spelled correctly. With CLI you have a low cost of resources needed to perform the actions you want, and commands are executed much faster than their Graphical User Interface (GUI) counterpart. More tech savvy individuals prefer CLI as they tend to know what they want and how to get it implemented and with CLI these tasks are performed at a much higher speed. GUIs on the other hand allow for a better user experience as it allows for more hand holding from providing alerts that drag users’ attention to problems to common icons that most individuals have seen before. But with this ease of usability comes with more resources needed to perform the same actions.

Looks good to me 👍🏻 There are TUI applications these days built with frameworks like https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea which make the terminal a much more graphical experience, but most of the time yeah it's just text dumped to stdout
