AFAICT, the vast majority of serious developers use the cli
interface.  I find it far easier to document/reproduce stuff
using the cli: a shell script with a few comments serves as
both automation and documentation.  And it works fine when
you're ssh'ed in remotely.  I find that generating CDL
fragments in the shell-script and then importing them is a very
powerful and convenient method for managing configuration
details.
