What does this have that the SQLite command line program doesn’t? Because every time I try one of these I go back to the cli.

Here's one use case: while I don't use this particular GUI, it really does help when you have some columns containing RTL text such as Arabic and you want to browse through a table. RTL handling in most terminal emulators I've used is really lacking, though I can't blame them.

Lots of things! It gives you sqlite superpowers. It makes you more productive and saves you lots if time. You can edit several databases at the same time. And editing them is far easier. For example, it generates and executes the sql code to add new columns for you. You can edit the data of several rows directly on a query response, as if It was a spreadsheet, just by clicking on a column value (or you can use a column value editor). Super handy. You can view and edit blobs. The sql editor has autocompletition and you can execute a statement just by having the cursor on this statement, so you can quickly test multiple independent queries in a single editor window. It shows the execution times, so you can easely compare the speed of several query strategies. You can view the query optimizer info by clicking a button. It supports several scripting lenguajes, and the list goes on and on. Check the features here: https://sqlitestudio.pl/features/

Allows people who are not versed in SQL to interact with and edit sqlite files as if it was a spreadsheet (for better or worse)

For example it has context-aware syntax autocompletion, easy D&D for tables between databases, and many more - you can see longer list at https://sqlitestudio.pl/features/

A good alternative to the sqlite cli is litecli [1]. I've been a happy user for quite some time.

UI is quite useful to me

Maybe UI

Agreed, rip the band-aid off folks. You will be so glad you did.
