Does Terminal use actually make sense in the real world? (sh.itjust.works)

I know we all enjoy being nerds and using commands (H4ckerman). But now that everything is either a gui or web based, is there really any use to terminal commands?

For example, on windows I never used powershell or cmd hardly ever. I realize now I probably could have. But Linux just drives me to use it more, which i like anyway (because let's be honest, it makes us feel superior)

Aside from the automation, which has been mentioned already, I tend to seek out terminal based solutions and heavily use it over GUIs because:

  • my wrists tend to hurt after using a mouse for too long (mouse use is now limited mostly to browsing the web and spreadsheets)
  • lower resource footprint means I can do more with less hardware
