        1. Gimp to batch edit pictures in a script (I know about ImageMagick but still)
        2. Excel to change stuff in excel files quickly (I know about python modules but it’s so complicated to use)
        3. Proprietary VPN software like Cisco AnyConnect, I want to automate the login when I boot, but they don’t let me

        Just from the top of my head.

        I love programs like freecad despite the really hard/unintuitive gui. 95% of all the modelling i need to do (as an amateur) can be done easily in a python script.

        The finishing touches like adding filets and chamfers are the annoying part were gui is easier, due to the way edges are referenced.

        Likewise at work, we have to produce a lot of regular reports in excel. All done via python / sql.

    w3m, as weird as that sounds, for image drawing. links graphical mode is nice, but I’m not a fan of its keybindings, and w3mimagedisplay is hacky at best, to say the least.

    Git - the Github Desktop application is a great example of how easy git could be for users like me who only rarely use git. Every time I need to do somethign other then a simple pull or push I need to look it up and by the time I need it again I have forgotten the command and need to look it up again. Just give me something like Github Desktop on linux

    I’ve kinda grown towards CLI the last year or so. I used to make wrappers around CLIs for myself even haha

    Just of the top of my head discovered today.

    Not a GUI as one exists. But a more configurable one as it is crap for visually impaired.

    Rpi-imager gui dose not take theme indications for font size etc. Worse it has no configuration to change such thing.

    Making it pretty much unsuable for anyone with poor vision.

    Also it varies for each visually impaired indevidual. But dark mode is essential for some of ua.

    So if your looking for small projects. Youd at least make me happy;)

    Anything that needs to be configured with YAML, and Kubernetes in particular.

    I mean I get the whole Infrastructure as Code hype (although I have never witnessed or heard of a situation where an entire cluster needed to be revived from scratch), but it should be very possible to make a gui that writes the YAML for you.

    I don’t want to memorize every possible setting and what it does and if someone makes a typo in the config (or in the white space, as it’s YAML) everything is borked.

    Call me old-fashioned but the graphical ui of something like octopus deploy was a thousand times more user friendly imho.

        Not at all.They are 2 ways do the same thing. The GUI can tell you what options are available. The CLI needs you to memorise them, or go somewhere else to look them up.

        Why would i use something so restrictive as cli tools when i can change the data directly with assembly?
