For CLI programs I agree, but I've come across GUI programs for which the official installation instructions were CLI only (like Android Studio).

I'm not GUI-only, I just strongly prefer it. My CV does contain me having years of experience developing GUI programs.

OK, again, as a hiring manager I would really appreciate you stating your preference for GUI-based computing on there. It will save both of us a lot of time.

It's a preference, and I may complain about it on social media, but I know things are how they are and I'm not so hung up on it as to let it affect my work.

Worst case I would take a few minutes between tasks to quickly whip up a GUI helper, but I think that in 10 years I only did it 2 or 3 times.

So you're saying that you don't want to put it on your CV?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think it's relevant, I can use CLI and terminal just fine and if it's required to do my job then so be it.

I think it's absolutely relevant. You've inspired a new interview question.
