  Well, that depends. If your CLI program wants to eg. take advantage of
multiple processors, it will usually be a bit more complicated. (Although
some programming languages make this a bit easier.)

  A couple of decades ago multiprocessor computers were huge servers which
price started from $100k up, so for regular people it was just a dream.

  (Ok, you *could* write multithreaded CLI programs two decades ago, but
it wasn't as beneficial back then as it is nowadays.)
