Janet, the CLI is just another way to run a program, and for those who are
blind or visually impaired, it can often be much, much easier than using a
GUI.

One of the quotations I snagged years ago (and when I was a heavy duty
programmer) applies to those who aren't, too:

A GUI is to a command-line as a TV is to a book.

~ Scott Hess

It's not that I expect anyone to become wildly proficient with myriad
command line commands.  But it would behoove you to get over the idea that
those are only something that programmers use, because they're not.  There
are some things I still choose to do via command line because it's just so
darned much easier than dealing with the GUI (Graphical User Interface -
e.g, Windows) for the same functionality.

If you were wanting, for instance, to split a multi-hour long MP3 file into
15 minute segments, I can guarantee you that doing so with MP3Split is much
easier than any sound editor with a GUI.
