Then why are you using GitHub? :)
My point is that Git is just a component of the GitHub tool, and the GitHub CLI is quite good and helps automate many things in GitHub. For example, even just using `gh browse` and `gh pr create --web` and `gh pr view --web` are fantastic tools.

I don't need to automate anything in GitHub, I have a web browser for when I need to use GitHub. Installing and learning another CLI seems like a waste of my time for very, very little return.

You would rather manually browse to the repo you're working on in the web interface rather than typing `gh browse`? I hate CLIs, in general, but the GitHub CLI has some very useful commands.
