+1 sometimes, but sometimes they offer a much easier way to do things with less
learning required -- there is a tradeoff (at least for some of us in some
cases) -- ease of use vs. ease of describing to someone else.
It would be nice if there was a simpler way to describe things -- maybe if all
GUI actions had a corresponding way to invoke from the CLI, and then the
description might start with the CLI command(s).
