You write a dialplan with a text editor. Or copy from an existing sample
/ template.

And you use decent automation and proper includes and patterns.

GUIs often tend to force you to do time-consuming work over and over
again and get in the way of automation, which is usually trivial in a
decent command-line interface.

GUIs automate certain things. As long as you are within the "supported
flow". But once you leave it, you often have to do more work.

(Those are generic observasions. Let's not go over the GUI flamewars
again)
