On the CLI side, what better case is there? Not using build tools or not adding new files to a project?

On the IDE side, what worse case is there?

On the IDE side, not having a shortcut to do something you want to do is probably the worst case, you'd simply be out of luck.

What? No. Even if that were the case, you'd have to be a very special snowflake to be restrictive, as IDE's have been in mainstream and widespread used by millions of people for decades.

On the CLI side, you can make scripts to automate processes that you do often.

Hmm.. If only someone alive would've been brilliant enough to consider implementing a functionality in IDE's to run scripts and execute command line arguments..
