Actually I completely disagree with that statement. People are so use to the flashy graphical environment these days, they tend to shy away from the power of the command line. While a flash UI make look good, things can be done a lot quicker using the command line than with a mouse and a few taps on the keyboard. For example, you want to get a directory listing from a machine, or you want to get a ping response from all the alive machines on a particular subnet, I can do that in seconds on the command line. I would love to see how most people would accomplish that task using the UI without downloading extra software.
edit: Even though I spend 99% of my time using the UI, the command line still has its uses. Every piece of software is a tool to get the job done, the trick is knowing what tool is the best tool for the job at the time.

Yes but its hardly user friendly is it, you need to learn the commands, where with gui anyone can use it. I myself have to use a few commands sometimes and i agree they have there place.
