Basically, the GUI was created for retards to use computers, thereby bringing the entire industry down to their level.
One thing that the command line does is give a consistent frame across all machines, regardless of screen size or resolution. If you KNEW that everyone would be using 80x24(or 25 on DOS) then you can plan your program's UI to the absolute level, while in the case of GUI programs you're constantly seeing a push-and-pull between the UI department and the design department.

In a modern GUI environment you need a GPU accelerated terminal emulator to obtain fast text input/output. That's crazy.
