on the contrary, CLI is the BEST way to deal with firewall rules.

Personally, I'd take it a step further. Firewall rules should be defined as code in a git repo. So if you're building rules in a gui, you're simply doing it wrong. While a cli and/or api should be used, that should be automated and invisible to a human.
