Codekit 3 - Modern GUI Collector for MacOS

The controversy between the CLI lovers of programs and the supporters of the GUI begins with the appearance of the very first GUI operating systems and is still ongoing. I have never had anything against good GUI applications and enjoyed using Codekit from the very first version. Now it's the end of 2016 and the major update number 3 has been released.

Codekit is an extensible front-end collector "on steroids" with a graphical interface and the ability to hang scripts for any event. The closest "console" counterparts can be called Grunt and Gulp. GUI means an incredibly simple configuration - most of the settings are set and changed using checkboxes or radio buttons. For everything else, there is a mastercard text input fields that fit the same parameters as in the console programs.
