Hi, I would say that even with these tools the GUI is a good way of identifying that you have done the right thing, or to establish a workflow. For example, when I was learning AWS and Terraform, I had to use the GUI to start with as I hadn't come across AWS concepts much before. I was asked to learn using the command line, but found this impossible especially using a DSL for infrastructure as code. One thing though with Azure is to look at something like Terraform especially if you are familiar with the concepts as it will save you a lot of time over the GUI or using PowerShell commands. I don't know whether Azure has a similar system to CloudFormation on AWS?

On the topic of using PowerShell as a full alternative to various inefficient UI's, I'd be really interested in hearing from someone who uses PowerShell exclusively for administering any system. Especially Active Directory, DFS, IIS, Office365, Azure VPN, Azure VM's, VMware VM's, SCCM and AzureSQL PAS. If there are people using PowerShell exclusively for administration of any of these applications, it would be fantastic to colaberate on building a repository of helpful scripts. Or, if there's one already out there, contributing to it.
