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)

depends on what you want to do with your computer? If you want to deeply get into the internals of your computer, including writing your own software, then you'll probably have to touch the terminal at some point. If all you want to do is web browsing or photo editing or something, then you might never need it.
