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?
Andrew.
