Advantages and disadvantages of CLI and GUI
1. Ease of use
Because of the visual presentation, most people can learn and use GUI much faster and easier than CLI which requires a higher degree of memorization and familiarity.
For example, GUIs provide the user with immediate visual feedback in most cases, whereas there is often no obvious feedback in the case of CLIs.
2. Functionality
A GUI does not have the same level of functionality and granular control as a command line interface. So the CLI provides greater flexibility of use. It can be used to easily do things that are difficult or even impossible to do with a GUI.
3. Speed
A GUI needs to use additional system resources to load the graphical part thus it is going to be slower than using the command line.
4. Multitasking
Although many CLI offers multiple windows view, GUI generally has a higher ability to operate multiple tasks at the same time with ease.
5. Scripting & Automation
With a CLI, users have all the control over the file system and operating system, and the tasks become simple. You can create a script that contains a few lines of command and it will do the work for you.
Although GUI’s can create shortcuts, they do not readily support scripting or automation. For common tasks, a user must repeat each action within the GUI manually.
