Never liked it. Going back a little further, VMS, AOS/VS, AOS, RT-11, TOPS-20,
TOPS-10. PDP-11 where two people could play a space wars game using the
console switches, where entire programs could be toggled in using the switches
(CLI not needed).
GUIs have their uses; but they limit what one can do. If one wants to learn
how a computer works, CLI is nearly the only way to go.
