I CAN interact with CLI, but i WANT to interact with good GUI. I don't want to learn CLI commands when I don't have to. Especially in the cases where I use it rarely

    Are you kidding? There's nothing I love more than hand typing a 400 character file path.

    Yeah and that's totally fair enough, but people who like using a command line and know the tools well rarely if ever have to type out long paths or commands. Tab completion and history suggestion (especially in a modern shell like fish or zsh) is a joy to use, and doesn't just do file paths but command options and arguments. Man pages are very overwhelming at first, but if you're practiced at scanning them, then it's a lot more convenient to get the info right where you are than to navigate to another window. But the learning curve is steep and I get why someone wouldn't want to bother.
