Well, in fairness, GUIs do have their place. Eg, if you want to copy a group of unrelated files from one place to another, it's quicker to graphically select them in a file browser than it is to type in their names; but if they can be conveniently specified by wildcard names, the CLI can be a lot more efficient.
Ideally, people should be comfortable with both, and use the best tool for the job at hand.
