You'll pry CLI access from my cold dead hands.  Love CLI.

Take Care

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,
