I dunno -- there's definitely a community of developers who prefer not to use the command-line / Unix toolset, but at least half of those I know [especially the macOS users and those with some ops experience] routinely reach for the core Unix utilities , especially when doing ad hoc quick fixes / file processing. For my part, I can't imagine doing my job without them [or I guess more accurately, my job wouldn't exist in the first place with them]
I think git has a pretty significant amount to do with the persistence of command-line tool use among the younger set -- it's just so much more efficient / easier to use from the terminal.
