There are a lot of CLI devs out there, even in enterprises! I highly recommend gaining proficiency with the command line, as it will make you a more productive developer in the long run. While most everyday tasks may have a GUI, if you end up working near the cutting edge, you will likely encounter problems that do not have any GUI alternative. And if you end up working on a rare problem, no GUI may ever emerge. Your CLI skills may be the difference between a 10-minute solve and not being able to accomplish the task at all.
I spent > 10 years building on Windows, and this advice definitely applies to the .NET ecosystem as much as others. On Windows, Powershell mastery will set you apart.
