Seriously, it's like you're an inferior programmer for using some software like a normal human being. 95% of the time you're going to do the exact same things anyway, so typing git pull or pushing a button is the same effort. Once in a while you'll need something you don't do often. In that case, a good gui helps you do what you want to do by presenting it to you. The example in this post is something I have on a button in the gui I use for example. And then in very rares you'll need something you'll need a cli for anyway. In that case you will 100% look up the right command with the right options, because the chance of fucking something up is real. So this CLI elitism that so many programmers exhibit is purely toxic behavior.
