I can easily see a badly laid out GUI being worse for some people than a commandline interface or even just coding up a Python script yourself from scratch… I’m one of those people for sure. We’re rare but we do exist.
I often find myself preferring commandlines, where complex commands either get thrown into a shell script, or I have a text file with a reference of “commonly used commands with all arguments” (I think I have 5-10 specific ffmpeg use cases I’ve put into text files for example, and in many cases once I’ve run a particular command once I’ll run it a few more times on other files, in which case bash command history is a wonderful thing…)
