I pretty much don't use the CLI client, I'm just aware that it works because I've used it a couple of times. On a desktop I always have a browser open to copy something from and on a mobile device I don't have a CLI anyway.

Usually I'm a big fan of using the command line over GUIs, but with password management... I don't, for some reason!

I guess since typically a browser is a desktop app, using a browser extension is more practical. It can be handy to have the CLI occasionally too.

You could use a CLI web browser along with a CLI password manager. I don't know if itd be practical, but Im sure there is someone out there doing it!
