Not really. At a previous workplace, we used two different IDEs for the
two programming languages we needed to work with, and wrote GUI apps to
handle whatever we might otherwise need a terminal to handle. We even
had a GUI for git. (git was a great blessing.) If we needed to run a
script (which was rare), we would double click on it. I used a terminal
because I never bothered to learn the git GUI and because one of the
IDEs was terrible, but I'm legitimately uncertain if I ever saw anyone
else working with a terminal. We were using Windows. I think it was a
relatively typical workplace.
Power users will always be able to use the terminal to great effect,
but if most developers have to use it to get work done, that's a pretty
damning statement as to the quality of our developer experience.
