I would say: composability. As you can see in the examples the datasources are very different, and for some one off observation this can be totally handy (if you don't need to massage the data too much, probably).



Exactly. GUI apps trade generality for approachability. The GUI version of this already exists; it's part of Excel.


You could have a CLI tool that opens a GUI window, like matplotlib does in Python.
