    And now imagine yourself creating an UI in tkinter without an editor. Because that’s what I did. It was absolutely horrible.

          For efficiency, just use the cli. The user doesn’t want it? Then I don’t want the user.

            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.

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

                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.
