Then the transition to more CLI based tools took on strongly in the 2010's and its momentum does not appear to let up. The benefits of CLI completely are discovered in that you have more control, everything is more "exposed" and with more flexibility. About the most popular GUI tool that still stands today for web devs are IDEs.
I still find it peculiar that in the past web devs had more interest in user-friendly GUIs. It's peculiar because in the past, modern software development in general did start out with command line tools, but the recent past of web development was full of windowed apps, with tons of forms and visual interfaces. "CLI discovery" was rather delayed for web devs and I'm wondering why.
