I remember how annoyed I was when our library switched from a all text computer system to one that used a GUI. I could sort and find books so fast with the all text system, and even had the keystrokes to my library card memorized. Of course if you asked me what the number was I could not tell you, but if I sat at a computer I could type it in.

There are some things that are done better in a command line system, but would I give up my GUI for an all command line system? Naw.
