On Windows 11, is it superior to use the command line interface (e.g., terminal) for interacting with yt-dlp? Or is a GUI like stacher.io sufficient for 99% of needs?

I'm also curious if it is better to use an Ubuntu WSL for yt-dlp CLI for a more streamlined terminal

the cli is very simple to use as @hisao mentioned here, for any specific options I find that llms like Claude are very helpful for giving me the commands I need. "a yt-dlp command to download 720p with no audio" for example will give you the correct command to paste in
