Pushbullet looks interesting, and more interesting to me in that it's "freemiumware" because maybe revenue from the premium version is how they make money, rather than selling my data.
As for the insanity of using the CLI, IMO that's a little like a straw man argument. I wouldn't consider typing the message on the command line, I'd fire up my favourite editor, as GUI as I please. It can fully automate running the command if I want, and I'd get automatic filing of my messages, and version control even. I often use my editor for longish or tricky CLI commands anyway, it's one or two keystrokes away.
