It really depends.

For formatting drives i.e. i much prefer the GUI.

Nothing can beat GParted imo

Gparted is nicer for some stuff (have fun resizing a partition without it, for example), but for basics it's hard to go wrong with cfdisk IMO. Or even plain fdisk. Very useful to actually know how to use that if you don't have access to gparted, e.g., system recovery or install, and cfdisk is super easy to use too.

Yeah that I agree with.
