if you know already about SQL then it is really easy to use.

If you already know SQL then its much faster to type a line into the CLI than click the mouse 50000 times in a web gui. However, I do use it so when I'm on call I can walk someone thru a simple password reset, or something of similar level, over the phone rather than spend 45 minutes find and plug in the laptop, VPN in, do 15 seconds of work, then shut down everything and put it away until next time. Someone completely incapable of finding the semicolon key on a keyboard can usually none the less be successfully talked thru clicking the mouse 5000 times on a web page.
