Remember in some GUIs, we have the advanced and the simple. So, it is possible to be like that soundboard with both the simple and complex.

I will say one thing in support of the CLI, I was working on an ebook with html2lrf and instead of having to retype the command or use the 4NT history, I just dake a BAT file that I was able to run every time I wanted to convert and it worked fine. I can then keep the BAT file with the source file(s) and I'll know what my settings were. With a lot of GUIs, you set your settings, do what you needs, change them for something else and eventually you forget your settings you have for the first thing you did if you ever need t redo it. Unless of course the GUI has a save and load settings option.
