I agree with this 100% when it comes to creating commits. It makes it easy to create sensible commits with only the changes relevant to the individual commit. You can see what's staged and tailor it quickly. I'm a heavy terminal users and I agree that in general committing from the CLI seems like using the wrong tool for the job. That said, there's a lot you can't do easily or at all from the GUI. Rebases, surgically reverting a series of commits from a bad merge, re-writing branches, blame, bisect, reviewing the history of a single file, checkout of a specific version of a file from a previous revision; there are a lot of things that I can do easily from the CLI that I don't know how to do or don't care to do from a GUI. Use the right tool for the job. The GUI is great for common tasks and the CLI is great when you need more power.
