I don't feel like that solves the issue. Though I don't think any powershell wrapper does, but my point with the ISE is just that it feels incomplete.
But this isn't a powershell specific problem, and I myself don't use powershell much. You can apply this to things like openssl, ffmpeg, etc.

On the other side of things you have the powershell ISE, which is the worst of both. It's a glorified documentation browser.

Excel is probably the closest thing to it, honestly. Ease of use built in for basic tasks, hilariously powerful tools that are easy to access beyond it. But I wouldn't say excel's UX for that is particularly ideal, just that it seems to work.

The problem is node editors are great at helping build tools, but they aren't necessarily helpful at making easy to access processes. And few people want to *have* to build their own dashboards.
I'm not sure there's a happy medium here that really gives you the benefits of a GUI + CLI-style control.

CLIs meanwhile, all commands are just a big list. But to expose a CLI as a GUI naively wouldn't work because one big list is a terrible way to organize a GUI, and I don't think you *can* expose all possible CLI workflows with a nice unified GUI.

IMO a CloudKey is overkill - you can get the AP to run without even the management software just fine. If you wanna buy into their ecosystem you can, but it's not at all a requirement if you just want a good quality AP to attach to an existing network.

There is a cloud thing in that when you first set it up it gets hardware locked to your account (you can release it but it's for "anti-theft" - similar to how iphones do) but once it's up it's fully local as far as I can tell.
