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)

When I would develop on windows I used the terminal a lot and it's not really changing. Guis are great for something's but when you're working with things that have to run without a gui, there's just no substitute to a terminal. I'm not using a terminal cause it makes me feel cool. It's just the only tool for some jobs. Not because a GUI hasn't been made, but because a purpose made GUI for the task would be a waste of time and not as good.
