can't say about mysql authors

but same as psql has its pgcli

mysql cli has its [mycli](https://www.mycli.net)

one of the great things it can do is to use mysql_config_editor encrypted credentials [https://www.mycli.net/loginpath]

I find the opposite. MySQL's CLI is very easy to use, because it uses long commands that are consistent and easy to remember, e.g. SHOW CREATE TABLE blah or GRANT ALL ON foo, rather than the cryptic letters of psql. Maybe if you use it a lot then psql makes more sense - but if you're directly connecting to the database that much, something's gone wrong, IMO.
