I kind of think that the various voice assistants (Google Now, Siri, and Cortana) provide a sort of alternative command line. At least with Google Now, I find it's only useful if I memorize a command sequence I know works ("Ok Google, Navigate to ____") rather than allowing it to figure out what I want.
I sort of wish this voice command line was better documented, as it would make the tools more useful compared to a world where we try random sayings, and get disappointed when the software fails.
