There was a whole team of “engineers” that once told me, “using infrastructure as Code obfuscates things, using the GUI allows us to see exactly what is happening!”
They did not appreciate it when I told them to “git gud, or GTFO”.
Subsequently the company hired 5 more automation engineers like me and the two dozen of ClickOps “engineers” were let go. Our productivity is even higher with the 6 of us compared to more than two dozen of them.
GUI is nice for hobbyists and mainstream consumers.
I mean, there are definitely use cases where gui makes more sense. For example, utilities like GParted or KDE Partition Manager make messing with partitions much easier since they’re easier to deal with visually (imo)
