Have you ever seen a book about a Windows app? 1200 pages, 1000 of them screenshots.
An insane way to do computing.
An insane way to do computing.
true, you need some screenshots to teach someone a new trick
but then when they've done it once they'll remember it because GUIs really help for that kind of stuff
whereas for command line you'll have to google it every single time for the rest of your life unless its something you do regularly
Which the GUI paradigm has no built in equivalent to
It is a little better on MacOS with AppleScript, which can be used to bind different applications together. But not all of them, and it is far from ideal.
In the end, nothing of this is command-line equivalent.
Btw, if you want to see a GUI application that can do really really good macros, learn Blender! E.g. you can bind any button and knob to keyframes to change them in animations. That would be the level of macro-integration required to be CLI-like...
