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)

Do you unplug your keyboard to use a gui or something?

  • I actually do navigate through folder structures typing letters even in a GUI, but the terminal is still way faster for experienced users. And - what's more important: knowledge acquired for the terminal stays valid for ages - in the linux world now, 30+ years. Whereas a GUI change can be catastrophic to a learned workflow.
