> A GUI lets you not even have to think about it, not have to memorise syntax or go out of your way to write a script to save it.

Unless the GUI buries what you want to do in five or six levels of menus and options--and then changes where they're buried in the next release, so you have to re-learn everything all over again. That's happened to me with work computers more times than I care to remember.

By contrast, my collection of shell scripts on my home Linux computers is still serving me well after more than twenty years.
