    There's no war between CLI and GUI proponents, there's just clickbait and emotional responses spewed on the InterTubes.

    It's not an absolute either/or absolutism, experienced computer pros recognize the strengths of the full spectrum of resources we have available. I think it's fine that we can explore a range of various tools from the bare CLI, to the assisted CLI  that has tab completion, to VS Code, to SSMS, to Visual Studio.

    Probably not on SQL Server Central; people on these forums seem to be quite civil and level-headed. 

    But I've seen some hysterical (both meanings of that word) flame wars on the craziest of I.T.-related subjects.
