I use Ubuntu Linux daily. I haven't had to do anything in the command line in a long time. It is often faster and easier if you know how, but I haven't had to use it for anything that I can think of for a long time.
Exactly. It's not that you should have to use the command line with Linux, assuming one is using of of the many modem GUI environments, but it can still be easier and/or faster to hit the command line. Not dissimilar from OS X really. I make bootable images via the command line because the commands are simple to remember or cut and paste from saved document, no need to hunt for the right options/app via the GUI.
