Good point. Unfortunately statements like "you should probably use whatever tool is best given your skill level and the nature of the task at hand" isn't quite as catchy in a blog compared to a one-sided, opinionated, do-it-my-way prescription.
The only situation in which I could claim to agree with this is if there is a super hard core and time intensive task where there is no room for learning at all, and all that matters is that a product gets out as fast as humanly possible. If that's your situation and you can't handle command line, so be it go for a GUI. But if your free time I still think you should be practicing command line.
People /should/ know how to use the command line, even if they prefer to use other tools daily, but often it's not practical to force people to use it.
