GUI = Graphical User Interface, CLI = Command Line Interface (or TUI = Text User Interface)
It was occurring to me that it might be easier to manually use a mouse to click certain buttons to execute commands rather than type them up so I was wondering when people like to use GUIs versus CLIs?
(A lot of programmers seem to promote CLI over GUI for everything, because it can use less computer resources I think, but it may require more thinking or effort than just clicking a button than typing things up sometimes, I was thinking)
Oddly specific but anything by Fortinet kinda requires and the GUI. While the cli is there and is just as good their GUI consolidates on one page what takes 5 commands and 4 buffers of information to show.
Conversely, Cisco GUI can go suck a fat one.
