the same reasons that the devs had, when they said they didnt want a gui managed configuration.
if i want to change or add a bunch of entities, areas, etc. its easier in yaml.
i got a bunch of cameras. and they have all different settings.
for example they have all different passwords.
i got them in a specific yaml file, and when i need to look it up, i open that file and find the password i need. or the ip that i need.
when i need to do that through the gui, then i would need to click through all those entities. after i already needed to start the gui, and go to the appropriate pages.
the fact that the devs did change their mind, doesnt mean that everyone needs to agree with that change.
and personally, i am a gui kind of guy.
i use the ubuntu gui, and do everything i can with gui.
except when i am programming.
i got over 600 entities.
programming with that is impossible when you dont have a good list of the things you need.
and no the gui isnt helpfull there.
first of all because of the partly translated stuff (which was also stated that it wouldnt happen) (might be better in a newer release, but i never found the option not to translate)
and then its all in 1 single very long list.
