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)

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation. So my autism is not to blame, I'm just out of the loop. I mean, yeah, it's always funny when you see in a movie they put a command line tool just to make it look like someone is a R34L |-|4c|<3r and they are just doing ls and cd but never really knew it was a thing in general too.

I guess I've earned a woosh in the OP's joke.
