> Until you don't need to pull up the command line for anything slightly administrative

Please don't be such a bore, that line is rather tired and has been for nearly two decades now. In any case, I take the opportunity to make some only tangentially related observations:

Scriptable admin is a must in a professional, mid to large scale environment, and highly advantageous in other cases. This is regardless of what OS is being used, which is why Microsoft have been adding serious command line capabilities to their products for well over a decade now.

For occasional administration and infrequent tasks, a graphical user interface is certainly advantageous. Personally I'm a big fan of Yast2, especially since in the absence of an X display it will fire up in Curses mode, which is great when SSHing over satlinks.
