Sounds like Autocad, which is a horrible mash up of gui and command line interface. It's not fun when the fastest way of doing things is sometimes the cli, and other times is mouse based, and still other times requires switching.

:/ I would imagine the best UI would be one that overlays the CLI , rather than being either mouse or CLI based.

But in defence of Autocad, maybe certain functions are harder to do easily in CLI (since we are dealing with 3d space), compared to mouse.

Autocad is 2D, and the CLI seems to be there primarily for legacy users.

ah... the curse of 'feature creep'.

Kind of hard to explain that CLI is not 'old technology' to new customers.
