One word: Scriptabilty. I still haven't found a properly scriptable GUI. On the command line I can automate almost everything and customize it to my needs. Additionally I'm way faster on a CLI for almost any task I do as a programmer on a regular basis than with any GUI. For me personally, not just tasks I do when programming, but almost anything I do on a computer. The graphical display capabilities are merely a way of displaying content for me (PDFs, web-pages, etc.). Obviously, if you're dealing with graphical content you want a GUI though.
