They are different paradigms. The command is a power tool, suited for expert users (vs intermediates and beginners)
The stance is also different of the command line. As someone who also does creative work, the command line is simply not a tool I can use. “Paint Logo” is not a command :)
Making Linux a diverse tool for different stances and operations would be a great help for adoption.

I'm fine with GUI tools, I use them too. I just like the CLI for lots of things that I do. I write lots of scripts for various tasks, set them up as startup scripts or cron jobs and I'm done. GUIs are terrible for automation.
