Python tkinter interfaces might be inefficient, slow and require labyrinthine code to set-up and use, but they make up for it by being breathtakingly ugly.
I do not want the user to ever be expected to edit the database by hand. If they make a mistake by doing so, they can break the entire system. That’s why I wrote a GUI which gets the job done.
It could, but since the GUI was not very complicated it was not worth the effort caused by teaching the people who would have used the GUI how to do it in the CLI. They also have a lit of other work to do, so if I would have expected them to use the CLI, they would have probably not done the stuff I want from them at all.
Ugh, and they’re just weird. I can handle ugly but ktinker popups go across virtual desktops and over other windows for some ungodly reason, and never seem to dismiss themselves properly
You can even do inefficient UIs in Python using tkinter, which is part of the standard library in python.

And now imagine yourself creating an UI in tkinter without an editor. Because that’s what I did. It was absolutely horrible.
Probably faster than me even deciding the bg color tho
I didnt care how it looked, because I only wanted for it to be finished fast.
For efficiency, just use the cli. The user doesn’t want it? Then I don’t want the user.

Well, every high-level, abstracted action done in a GUI can just be mapped onto subcommands of a CLI
