I really dislike apps because they're so segregated compared to cli programs. When you use an app it pretends it's the only thing that exists and there's usually no way to change it that isn't a pain in the ass. Once you can do some tricks in bash yiu basically get master over the cli apps and can stay closer to organizing data how you like it. GUIs with shared fs access are nice but it's not the norm and getting alternative apps for the same function is more of a pita
