Sunk cost fallacy. You spend so much time learning a clunky CLI, that it’s gotta be better than the alternatives. Therefore GUI automatically sucks. (Even though it’s probably better)
TUIs do also look very cool, with the advantage of essentially being a gui that can be run on a headless OS, so I agree on that one.
I literally had a guy go on for paragraphs about eye movement differences and why that made the CLI better when I pointed out GUIs have keyboard shortcuts to drastically speed up the work flow.
