It's more like saying "I love my dependence on images, else I would still be stuck using text". Well, text can be more information-dense and efficient than an image or a movie. And similarly, a CLI can be more efficient than a GUI. Depends on the application.
And if the "MS DOS" reference is about release time, well, there are CLI tools that were built far more recently, and are much more modern than many GUI tools people use.
