    Unfortunately for newbies and GUI tool developers, I rarely use GUI tools and thus don’t know of many. I do agree that GUI tools have better accessibility and discoverability, but they also have worse performance and are just generally more work to make and thus many developers of enthusiast tools skip the GUI.

      Yes. I do tell my newbie friends about any graphical options I am aware of.

      Then they ask, “Thank you. Does it work well?”.

      And I admit, “I have no idea. I just use the command line.”

      Then they paste command I shared into the terminal and watch it finish successfully before the graphical tool has finished downloading.
