GUIs are an anti-pattern

* avoid making new ones when you can

* avoid doing work to upgrade or support legacy ones

* avoid them as an enduser

There are some niches and narrow use cases where GUIs *are* a net win, if not utterly necessary. Obviously, I hope.

For everything else? Bias to and reach for (first) CLIs, REPLs, TUIs, APIs, etc
