Dude, it's 2017. Even Windows admin is done with PowerShell.
Have you ever had to look after more than 5 servers?
Scripting is faster, easier, more repeatable, version control-able, better in virtually every way except perhaps during discovery, when you don't know what you are doing and click around blindly or follow a wizard. Even then, that should be guiding the creation of your script or helping you write an answer file.
Tell me, how do you record those mouse clicks? Can you play them back if you need to rebuild an identical server?
