[NANOG] Re: The Network CLI -- Love it ? Hate it? Needed?

[borg--- via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

CLI forever ;) But more seriously. CLI is great, its quick, can
run on toaster and its easya automated using scripting
(generate, replace, preprocess).

I like CLI to the point that my docs stuff runs under CLI terminal.
The GUI is only used for visualizers.
I hope that CLI will stay for a long time...

Hi NANOG community,

I posed this question in several chat groups, but I'd like to get your opinions.

Do you love the CLI? Do you hate the CLI? Would you -- or do you already -- 
enjoy a world where you never need to touch the CLI, to manage your network?

This applies to both provisioning and troubleshooting; to which, you may have
different answers.

So far, I've seen a variety of replies around the usual "should/must/must
not/should not".

Warm regards,
