Fondness for the terminal or shell is a question of mindset, not ability. You might be surprised (as I was... and, if I'm honest, still am, a little) at how many skilled programmers there are who don't know how to use it, and how many of those that do know, don't actually make use of that knowledge. And yet, they are still worth paying attention to, unless perhaps you're wanting advice about shell commands.

And on the flip side I have also met a number of (relative) dullards whose shell skills were unquestionable.
