Meh. It's useful, but the "no true scotsman" argument is just wrong. Coding solutions is usually better in the long-term. It's why Perl was invented. Command-line is all about learning thousands of arcane details that anyone can just google the answer to.
I tend to agree. There have been approximately zero times I've been given a file with 100,000 numbers that needed to be sorted. Similar tasks are honestly rare enough that my intermediate command line skill has gotten me by just fine. Every once in a while a complex task pops up but I just google it and figure it out fairly quickly.
