Millions of giant size programs with their own bugs and almost all of them
fail to do something correctly. If some command-line tool sucks, just
replace it with some other and combine the better one with other known-good
tools. But if some GUI program has a feature you need, but it is unable to
share data (or otherwise co-operate) with other programs, it is useless.
Also I haven't heard of wizard applications which automate using
GUI programs. I think it is much easier to write a bash script which
invokes those hard to remember commands rather than writing an application
which automates moving the mouse pointer to specified coordinates and then
simulates a click. And that clicker wizard is even not portable to other
screen resolutions...
