How do you manage S3 and CloudFront day to day? Console, CLI, or something else?

Curious how other builders handle the everyday S3 stuff: uploading assets, checking what s in a bucket, invalidating CloudFront after a deploy.

For me it was always a mix of the AWS console (slow for small tasks) and the CLI (fast, but I never remember the flags). Most GUI clients I tried felt dated or were closed source, which made me uneasy about handing them AWS credentials.

That frustration is why I built Hoistbay, a free, open-source desktop app that treats S3 like a regular folder and keeps CloudFront one click away. It s live on Product Hunt today if you want to take a look: Hoistbay
But I m genuinely more interested in your workflow. What do you use, and what s the one S3 task that still annoys you?
