Automation
Command line interfaces support scripting and batch processing, facilitating the automation of repetitive tasks which enhances productivity over time.
Resource Usage
CLIs generally consume fewer system resources than graphical user interfaces, which can lead to improved performance on lower-end systems.
Flexibility
Many command-line tools can be combined in complex sequences using pipes and scripts, offering high versatility in handling various tasks.
Remote Management
The command line is ideal for remote system management, as it can be accessed over SSH, allowing users to manage systems without a GUI.

Learning Curve
New users may find the command line intimidating and challenging to learn due to unfamiliar commands and lack of visual aids.
User Error
Commands entered incorrectly can lead to severe consequences, such as data loss, since the command line often lacks the safety nets present in graphical interfaces.
Lack of Discoverability
Command line tools often lack visual cues, making it difficult for users to discover available commands and functionality without prior knowledge or documentation.
Limited Graphics Support
The command line is not suited for tasks that require graphical input or output, such as image editing or detailed visualizations.
Less Intuitive
Graphical interfaces are generally more intuitive for users, as they rely on direct manipulation and visual feedback, while command lines rely on textual input.
