Codekit 3 - a modern GUI builder for MacOS

The debate between lovers of CLI programs and adherents of the GUI originates with the advent of the very first OS with a graphical interface and continues to this day. I never had anything against good GUI applications and I enjoyed Codekit from the very first version. Now the end of 2016 is in the yard and a major update at number 3 has been

released . Codekit is an extensible front-end collector "on steroids" with a graphical interface and the ability to attach scripts to any event. The closest "console" counterparts are Grunt and Gulp. The GUI implies an incredibly simple configuration - most of the settings are set and changed using checkboxes or radio buttons. There’s a mastercard for everything else text input fields that fit the same parameters as in console programs.
