    Software would be more useful if every end-user program has both GUI and minimal CLI modules, as in Dolphin vs cp, mv etc.

    Why?

    GUI: Year of the Linux smartphone

    CLI: Automation, scripting.

      TUI is a subset of GUI that uses text in a terminal to render UI elements. It does not make automation any easier. What you want is called CLI.

      For a program at work the scripting language is Delphi and the Documentation is not available. If you want to know something call the support. CLI is not an option.

      It’d be really useful to have a CI run, but that is never going to happen.
