GUI is for People who use trackpad/mouse and keyboard while CLI users are all keyboards.

When Figma/Adobe XD/Photoshop/Illustrator used CLI for the first time. trying to find the navigation bar/Side bar, Cmd+C(Ctrl+C) as cancel(terminate). Right Click as Paste instead of Ctrl+V.

I like to be more of hybrid than choosing a side. I am learning it and at the same time can cope up with someone who has experience in both GUI and CLI.

Basically.

I know a guy who doesn't use a mouse for any of his IDEs. He set up keyboard shortcuts for all the actions he needs and uses those to navigate files and do whatever he wants. It's what finally got him to move out of VIM 😄
