@pony In general, you can do practically everything the average user wants to be able to do through GUIs. That's the whole point of GUIs. The real power-user stuff, like defining the login manager used and manage daemons, is something which you do on the command line. The command line is also, obviously, nice for useful scripts. For my Android, I have written a VERY simple script which can detect all the .apk files in a directory and install them in a matter of seconds. "find --name "*.apk" --exec pm install {} \;" is the script in question, if I could recall correctly. All it does is fine all .apk files, and lets the package manager install is when it finds one. These simple things can save so much time at times, and that's why I like the CLI. Also: https://identi.ca/climagic
