Honest Question: CLI vs GUI and why?

I am a student learning the way's of CLI management and administration on Cisco stuff through their networking academy. I also buy cheaper/used stuff on the side for lab purposes to see what it's like using other networking stuff as well as finding videos online for more expensive equipment. I've come to see that a lot of newer networking stuff uses predominantly GUI, such as Cisco WLCs and APs and switches and routers (though there are the usual options for CLI management as well, but their GUI has come very far), all variety of Netgear stuff (high and low end), Ubiquiti, Fortinet Firewalls, HP and Dell, etc etc the list goes on. So this makes me wonder, what do you, the people of r/networkng prefer and why? And which do you think will be more widely used in the future?
