No. It's obvious, some things are easier to do with the GUI than with the CLI. But the purpose of editing config files is not to use an application, but to configure it. It's unrelated with the claim. Of course, nobody is saying some games can be done by editing confing files instead of using their GUI. > And some tasks can be done well with either a CLI or a GUI. > Some people prefer one, some prefer the other. The claim is not about the choice. You choose what you prefer, I have nothing against it. The claim is it can be something like 60 times faster to use the GUI than to edit config files. So for this claim, I want examples. > You say "po-tay-to", I say "po-tah-to". The important point is that > people should have the freedom to choose whether they want to use a > CLI or a GUI.

The problem mostly is that CLI need to be learned. When GUI can be discovered. So it looks easier for the beginner who is to lazy to learn. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io
