Good idea, it's best to keep shell knowledge alive, the GUI tools have their limitations, and commandline operation complements. Even better, basic shell scripting. :)

For me, the command line isn't a complement to any other tools; it's the primary and preferred means of interacting with the system. One of my original motivations for becoming a Linux user was to be able to work full-time in a UNIX-like environment, and to avoid moving to a predominantly GUI system, with its constraints and inefficiencies.
