For me it's the other way around I wish there would be better CLI support for GUI apps.

  1. Gimp to batch edit pictures in a script (I know about ImageMagick but still)
  2. Excel to change stuff in excel files quickly (I know about python modules but it's so complicated to use)
  3. Proprietary VPN software like Cisco AnyConnect, I want to automate the login when I boot, but they don't let me

Just from the top of my head.

It seems to exist: https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/

There are many things you can do in the GIMP gui that can't be done programmatically :(

This is one reason I love FreeCAD. Everything done in the GUI is just a python call

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
