I have been using GUI based OS since the Amiga. And IDEs since Turbo products on MS-DOS.

One of my hobbies on GNU/Linux systems, since the early days (1994) was to get GUI tooling for my work.

Most of them taken from the more mature UNIX systems, back then.

For me the CLI is only for quick and dirty operations file operations, or calling build tools. 90% of my time I live on the GUI.

And what happens when you have to ssh into headless remote Linux servers all day? And for editing scripts and administrative tasks on said servers?

X-Windows/VNC sessions. I only do ssh if no other option is available.
