Once you learn the basics you can switch fully to tmux,vim etc.etc.
The productivity boost is huge.
On my desktop(s), I have both GUI and CLI applications, both ready for immediate use. Ferinstance, I have a GUI browser as well as several CLI xterms.
In fact, I probably do much more minute-to-minute work using the xterm CLIs, but that browser is always available for reference work (and entertainment!).
