I hate terminals because they're completely undiscoverable and they depend on you typing each character exactly right or things could blow up.

Give me a good discoverable, safe UI over a terminal any day.

The only good thing about a terminal is that flexibility you get by piping programs together. GUIs can (and do) have the same kind of flexibility but it's not as standardized so I guess another good thing about terminals is that there are some simple standards.

Other than that though, I'd throw away terminals forever if I could.
