How much do you use a terminal?

About 95% of my Linux based work would be done from the command line. In some respects, the GUI is a conspiracy to keep people stupid by making sure that they never learn (A primary marketing strategy of Microsoft ).

I have to say, I use mostly GUI. I'm just getting into using terminal more but for a lot of my tasks, using GUI is fine.
My rule of thumb is, if a terminal program takes up the full terminal screen, may as well just use a GUI version.

Programs that output text - they're the ones I tend to use in the terminal, as they let me pipe and redirect.
