When to use CLI:
- Do things at scale. A simple CLI command can easily adjust configurations for a large group of systems at once.
- Something needs to be scripted and automated.
- You need greater control over system functions.
- Use NPM for Package Installs as Node Package Manager is easily the most popular tool for modern developers and it does not have a GUI.
- Utilize Git Version Control.
- For less memory usage.
When to use GUI:
- To reduce mental work. It can take care of a lot of work which may be obscure.
- Simplify the structure of tasks. Tasks can be done without many lines of code. Fewer typed lines of code lead to fewer typos, thus less time spending on the frustrating errors.
- Make results visible. You can see the system response clearly then recognize errors and debug easily while the system reaction in CLI is meaningless most of the times.
- Make the barrier of entry lower. Because of its simplicity and ease of use, GUI is being used by the majority of computer users, especially new and novice users.
