GUI has improved dramatically over the last few versions.   CLI gives
instant results where the java gui has been known (in the past) to
give old data.  Not to mention scripting/automation/customization
with reporting, scheduling, provisioning, installations, DR, etc.  I think
the GUI can be good for someone new or for operations people that need
that.  I've seen a lot of locations write a customized menu driven
interface for the tape handles for inserts/exports and job submission.
Many larger more complex locations need to not use the NBU scheduler and
go with an logic based company wide scheduler, CLI helps this move
smoother as well.  CLI also gives you a closer connection to understanding
what is really happening behind the scenes which is invaluable when it
comes to problem solving.

Thanks
Peter
