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)

The terminal makes many functions easier and faster, it's more consistent across updates and changes, can be automated with scripts and is much easier for developers to implement into software than a GUI

There's a learning curve, but there are real practical reasons for someone to use it over GUI
