Answer

GUI (Graphical User Interface)CUI (Character User Interface)
GUI interface is much attractive and appealing.CUI interface is relatively less appealing.
GUI is easier to learn and more user-friendly due to the presence of various graphical elements like icons, menu, buttons, etc.CUI is a text based interface and hence is not as user friendly as GUI.
With GUI, a user does not have to learn complicated commands.A user is required to memorize many commands to operate and control a CUI.
GUI users have Windows that allow a user to work, view, control, and manipulate multiple programs and folders at the same time.CUI does not offer the same ease and ability to work with multiple programs at once on one screen.
GUI supports the use of both a mouse and keyboard to control and navigate through your system.CUI supports the use of a keyboard only.
In GUI, the user mostly gets immediate visual feedback of the action he is doing. For example, the user can see immediately that a file is successfully moved from one directory to another.In CUI, there is no obvious feedback. If we consider the same example, one or more additional commands will have to be issued to confirm the file transfer action.
In GUI multiple tasks can run simultaneously at a time.Only one task can be executed at a particular point of time in CUI.
