In your opinion

Trying to project your personal preferences as objective reality is not helpful. You don't like CLIs, fine. You sound like you've got some good reasons to not like them. Your assumption that everyone else shares your values is a little weird.

Personally, I love the CLI and have yet to find many instances where the GUI is easier to use and more useful than the CLI alternative. Does this mean I think all GUIs are objectively bad? Of course not. It's personal preference.

I have not once said I do not like CLIs. I use them all the time.

But the fact remains, they are not useful when doing iOS programming, because the tooling provided does a BETTER job than the command line.

You don't think they're "esoteric and annoying" and have many "needless" problems? Or have I misinterpreted that?

Once again, better for you.

I think the currently popular cli, the old unix-based one, is esoteric, annoying, and still useful.

I think it could be a lot less of the two former and a lot more of the latter. But it will not be, because people are unwilling to even admit it has any flaws.
