Even as some who would generally prefer graphical CAD software in most cases, sometimes for simple parts like the examples in the linked article code really is just easier.

Sometimes it’s the same when I’m working on texturing for 3D models and I want to combine some texture maps in a specific way, I really don’t want to open Photoshop or similar for something that could be expressed in just a few lines of code. ImageMagick can probably do it, whatever it is, but then I need to learn the incantation.
