My start was on an Apple, but the rest tracks well enough. did Slack, then RH 5.2.
SGI handled the command line / gui matter particularly well. Most things had a GUI, and the GUI would issue the "--gui" or "-verbose" option to get the additional feedback needed for the GUI to behave more like one would expect, despite it basically being a wrapper for an otherwise CLI program.
The time I spent on IRIX really solidified when and where the two paradigms make sense. And they both do. There is no one size fits all winner here.
