The point isn't that you can do more with the command line, the point is you can do them so much faster.

I haven't found that to be the case.

It doesn't get much faster than executing a bash script. A GUI can never hope to match that.

I'm not sure what that's based on. For example, selecting a subset of items from a given list seems to be faster in a GUI than I've ever seen it done on a command line.
