A command line is WAY faster than using the mouse, provided you can type fast enough. A thing I'd like to add is that, to me, all those shiny pointy-clicky interfaces are little more than a distraction: they literally slow me down and prevent me from doing real work. Of course, this last bit is a very personal opinion and YMMV.
this, I hate using GUIs - they're slow and inconvenient in so many ways
also, terminal commands can be thrown in a script to easily automate or schedule tasks, unlike all that manual clicking in a GUI
Exactly. I always joke, even at work, that if I was a dictator, I would be a pretty eccentric one. Jailing political opponents? What a waste of time and energy. Repressing minorities? Couldn't care less. Curtailing women's rights? Nope. Centralising the economy and giving friends and family juicy government-backed contracts? Nah, that's not me. But I WOULD make EVERYONE work from the command line lest they're willing to die at the stake.
