I find the interface really clunky to use because I need to press enter after every command.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not; doesn't that describe just about everything you do interactively on a command line?

Yes but the difference is most other programs that employ this interface are programs I would probably spend alot more time using.

I think the primary advantages of something like this is more so that it enables you to use it with terminal tools, and from/in other programs (e.g. calling it from vim). There's also the benefit of increased productivity if you want to stay in terminal. It wasn't designed to to be more ergonomic than the browser based one.
