I wouldn't say "anyone" is trying to hard but I have seen a lot of people who immediately disregard guis as soon as they internalize that the cli is more difficult. Reasons include wanting to be "badass" or "smart". Yet many also do not care about how got differs and basically ask "how do I save" and proceed to revolve their entire workflow on a few copy pasted or memorized commands.other they hear how "rebase" is only for "smart" people...

On the opposite side gui users can often be unaware of the actual model and instead be working with imperfect internal models with be GUI being a crutch.

In both cases there is lack of desire to learn but I'm often more sympathetic to the latter where people want just enough information to do their work well as oppossed to the former who often make things harder than they have to be in all areas and have lost touch with true expertise in favor of appearance of expertise.
