Does Terminal use actually make sense in the real world? (sh.itjust.works)

I know we all enjoy being nerds and using commands (H4ckerman). But now that everything is either a gui or web based, is there really any use to terminal commands?

For example, on windows I never used powershell or cmd hardly ever. I realize now I probably could have. But Linux just drives me to use it more, which i like anyway (because let's be honest, it makes us feel superior)

Here's a task for you: how do you convert a folder with 5000 images from png to jpg, while ensuring that they are scaled to at most 1024x768 and have a semi transparent watermark on them?

I know how to do it quickly using the command line, but have no idea how to do it with a GUI.

Is an ipython notebook a gui? Because that's how I'd do it.
