I built a service whose primary client is a CLI program. I was thinking about building that client for Windows as well (not just WSL). My target users are generally technically-proficient so I’d rather not build a whole GUI app if it’s unnecessary. But I honestly have no idea how often Windows users use CLI tools beyond some Windows admin stuff.
So if Windows is your daily driver, how often do you leverage the shell and how unusual would it be to use CLI tools in your workflows?
We have a custom cross platform CLI tool for managing our sovereign cloud which I use quite a bit. But I cheat as a daily windows user and have Debian installed in WSL.
The only windows specific things I run is route print when troubleshooting our remote access VPN, TNC ( test net connection, I can never remember where the hyphen goes), and our own tool.
Its kinda sad, due to the corporate spyware its faster to launch a WSL console then it is to launch powershell most of the time.
