These days, the majority of my time spent on Linux is via GUI applications. That doesn't mean I can completely avoid the command line. Why? Partially because I also work with servers. But, every so often, I'll opt to use the command line on the desktop. For instance, when I need to run upgrades on a system, I'll open a terminal window and walk through the process manually.
Why? Because it's more efficient.
