Discussion on: Are GUIs better for learning purposes?

[Ben Dowen]

I like a mix, as follows:

• CLI I can script against
• IDE with plugins for auto complete, formatting, lint where possible
• Excellent docs with fully working examples I can build
• Good reference to show me what is possible
• style guide with any best practice or what to avoid
• A web UI should there be anything I need to monitor or get feedback as to its current state!

Yes I know I'm asking a lot. But a great developer experience really needs these things.
