Probably because it's also about the ease of troubleshooting issues.

How do you troubleshoot something with a GUI after you've misconfigured?
How do you troubleshoot a programming error (bug) in the GUI -> device communication?
How do you scale to tens, hundreds, or thousands of devices with a GUI?

CLI makes all this easier and more manageable.

completely tantric about it to count?

I mean, i'm just trying to figure it all out here....
