I never use the terminal. It's not necessary for me. I'm not an IT user. I'm not missing out on anything. Many things I do don't even have a terminal command. It's important new users know this if they are not in to IT.

    It's useful for any meaningful use of a computer.

    There are no cli commands that I can use in my drawing and 3D modelling applications. Or when working with complex schematics. Where things don't often have names. It would be unproductive to leave the app to go to the terminal, type in 'the blue thing in the top right, No the dark blue one..' then come back to the app to see the result.

    Also, not all user types are the same. Visual users need different things from text users. That's basic usability.

    We're not all IT people with no interest in UX.
