Never liked it. Going back a little further, VMS, AOS/VS, AOS, RT-11, TOPS-20, TOPS-10. PDP-11 where two people could play a space wars game using the console switches, where entire programs could be toggled in using the switches (CLI not needed). GUIs have their uses; but they limit what one can do. If one wants to learn how a computer works, CLI is nearly the only way to go.
