GUI vs CLI
A GUI (graphical user interface) is like public transport…
Anyone can use it, and it will take you to the most common of destinations during normal hours with the minimum of fuss and hassle. On the other hand, you might be forced to take a slow inefficient route, might have to travel at specific times, might have to wait around for the next train/bus and some places just aren’t reachable using public transport at all.
A CLI (Command Line Interface) is like a car…
A car will take you anywhere you want to go and at any time, but you have to know how to drive and you have to navigate the route yourself.
