Why use the antivirus CLI? Is there an advantage to it?

[Grepawking]

I have some friends in the tech business and they are often talking about working on their AV CL scripts to do this or that. I was wondering what is the point of it if the GUI does the same thing? Am I missing something here? does the cl offer more options or something?
