This may be a nice example of the benefits and drawbacks of GUI vs CLI software.

Sure OpenSSL has myriad inscrutable options, but the majority of these probably aren't going to be used by 90% of people. Yet including them in a CLI gives less clutter/overhead versus what they would in a GUI. They can just stay out of the way for the people who need them.

I guess the same could be said of an "Advanced Features" second page of a GUI though.

I host a usable web app for this idea, including a full CLI via WebAssembly to illustrate the trade-offs
