Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

For daily use, you don't need the command line. Only in fairly rare instances do you need to resort to it when things go wrong. And those commands are a mere google away. So don't let the that big bad scary terminal stand in your way. It's not the stumbling block you think it is.
Oh, I live in the terminal, even on Windows. I like having that capability. Not everybody does though.
Then it's a habit not a fear. I also am comfortable with the cli since I started with Linux back at RedHat 5 and Mandrake 6. It was learn it or die in those days. But as time has passed, I find myself using it less and less because I don't really need it everyday. But while I might need to google a specific command because I forgot it, I still remember it's possible and handy.
