I don't really agree about the bit about building new policies.....

I can use:

        bppolicynew <policyname> -sameas <existingpolicy> 

Much quicker than the GUI, thank you.

As for building policies from scratch, we have a script for doing that and,
again, much quicker than the GUI.

I will agree about getting backup speeds from the GUI....that's one of the
best views.

I make all sorts of jokes about the evils of the GUI but I do use it for two
things consistently.

1. Building new policies - it's just so much easier than the cmd line.
2. The activity monitor - the cmd-line version is static views only.

After that, I find the command-line to be much more precise.  Restores
aren't this click-wait-click-wait stuff, it's just a one-liner & off it
goes.  Device monitoring is clunky (at least in 5.x & down - I haven't
installed 6.0 yet). 

Yup - love that command line.

Reading the mails coming through this thread, I get the impression that most
folks use the CLI more than the java gui, is this true and why? Just a
curious semi-newbie question.
