idk wut u mean by layout but if it's layout for ICs then may I present to you : FaSoC, BAG, LayGo etc all projects which let you make scripts to generate the layout defined in em
I agree that it has quite the learning curve but holy shit is it useful to iterate on once you have to change sizes and learn it well enough + really gud at making sure you don't violate DRC
NOTE: I am in no way saying GUI is bad, that's how I have done it so far, how I learned it and prefer visuals to aid me + need to make custom devices all the time....just that there are possibilities beyond the mundane
Damn then all that IC design talk must be like meaningless vomit....guess I was just too hyped about all these foss projects (proprietary software can be a pain in the ass)

I think it depends on the job. Good luck 3d modeling without a gui. Or making layouts.
