> the UI design of a typical CLI is abysmal

The nice thing about a CLI is that even if you don't like the interface you're given, it's trivial to put an interface you do like in front of it. Much harder to do that with a point and click interface.

Are you referring to writing a wrapper cli? Or adding a GUI?

Mostly just a little 1 to 3 line bash script that calls the relevant CLI with the relevant arguments/options for what I want to do. Stuff doesn't have to be complicated.
