If someone is joining a company to work full time, I can see how teaching them to use the tools "correctly" is good, and new skills are always a plus, but I frequently work on projects with freelancers whom I will only speak to for 4/6/8 weeks then they'll move on, particularly with javascript/frontend devs and designers it's tough enough to get them to use version tracking correctly with something 'point-and-click' (GitHub for Mac etc.), if I told them they had to learn how to use the command line too, they'd ether tell me to go away or increase their fee.
People /should/ know how to use the command line, even if they prefer to use other tools daily, but often it's not practical to force people to use it.
