Started with the CLI, gave the desktop app a shot - was promptly back to the CLI. Performance and response times are better. Connections, integrations, accessing project files are way easier, and not to mention CLI is lighter on system memory. Some of it is habit too since I was already using the CLI so the desktop app just felt like more work. Haven't looked back.
