I use the shell everyday for git, code search, running my code, SSH. I think on windows it's more common to use an IDE with a GUI for some of these things, but the CLI is generally more powerful.

I was rather curious about strictly non-power-user use cases. Someone who develops software and uses distributed version control systems isn't exactly the average user.

Especially on Windows.

I think you are babysitting users too much.

Terminal is basic IT literacy. Or at least, it should be. And it can't be if you protect people from it like its some kind of baba yaga.
