Maybe for people like us, CLI is easier. I grew up with a DOS pc, and started playing with Linux as soon as we had an Internet connection that I was allowed to use to download stuff.
For my parents, who actually are boomers, give them a CLI and they think something is broken.
I'm 18 years old. I legitimately thought command line is something for hackers more than 80% of my life. Yet, rest 20% of life was enough to make me love it. And it's kinda funny how it went CLI is main thing for computers -> trying to make everything GUI -> now CLI is popular again
If youβre a systems/network engineer or a dev, the CLI is your home.
I grew up with Windows (the first version I used was 7, close to the launch of 10) and even I think CLI is easier (I now use NixOS)

I enjoy a good cli or tui any day, but still sometimes fallback to a GUI for some stuff.
It sounds like it should be other way, but same.
I definitely still use GUI, just when mostly in Windows.
