yt-dlp CLI vs. yt-dlp GUI (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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

do you use a WSL or powershell? windows terminal is inferior to linux terminal imo

I use PowerShell for damn near everything. But I'm pretty sure when you're just typing yt-dlp, space, then pasting the url, then any terminal is as good as any other.

good point, i did not know that you could change the configuration file instead of adding all the -cookies and -mp3 tags to the yt-dlp url ... command
