    Seriously! I can do shit in the terminal, but I grew up post DOS and it's nice to just click something and have it work.

    Meh, I mean you are not wrong.

    What is even better though is knowing that whatever you click on is just inputting a command you could do yourself manually into a terminal. Now that is some cool full circle shit that Windows fucked up by hiding the CLI.

    I remember waaaay back in the server 08-08 R2 days, you could do something in server manager (such as installing a role) and while that process was running, you had the option to see the powershell command it was running in the background. That was pretty cool

    Good GUIs are awesome. It's just that you often cede control to a bunch of fucking idiots who somehow think if it's not broken absolutely destroy everything that made anyone love it in the first place. 'They'll adapt'
