That’s pretty harsh, it really depends on the platform/project. If you’re doing a lot of development on windows for example you’re probably not doing a ton on the command line (not everyone is on a Mac doing web or mobile). I know doing Unity3d game development in windows 10 the only time I really use the command line is when I need to do something in git that sourcetree can’t do. And I know the command line plenty well! There’s just no huge reason for this current project.
Plus some languages sort of have their own customs. Like if you were doing Smalltalk a lot of things you’d use a command line for in web development or mobile dev you’d use a workspace in the IDE instead. And then you have Lisp, where people used to joke that Emacs had become its own OS essentially.
