Different use cases. I want aws-cli for scripting, repeated cases, and embedding those executions for very specific results. I want this for exploration and ad-hoc reviews.

Nobody is taking away the cli tool and you don't have to use this. There's no "turns into" here.

Oh I think you misinterpreted my comment! I am very much a fan of this, wasn't throwing shade. I am just remarking on how my side-project scope today dwarfs my side-project scope of a year or two ago.

I did :) and I from votes I'm guessing many others too. Text communication remains hard as usual, sorry about that :(
