Their limits are the authors - some are VERY > good, others not so much. Of course they have a place and are useful. I don't deny that. But GUIs do not expose all the possibilities, either. Me, when I do something repeatedly, including a repeat a year later, simply write the recipe to a text file, and then copy paste back the CLI commands to repeat the procedure. If a GUI does that, I have to write a long text maybe with photos to list every option that I have to click. That's a lot of effort. Happened to me yesterday, as I had to partition, format and prepare an old disk as encrypted storage. One of the step was the partition table, for which I used gparted. -- Cheers, Carlos.
