I do not agree with the part about the advantages of CLI's. Consistence is not an advantage of CLI's over GUI. It is an advantage over carefully designed (as mentioned here) CLI's over uncarefully designed GUI's.

In my opinion the biggest advantage of a CLI's is that it can becomes a second language (with a lot of words by the way). If I want a calendar in my CLI, I just type calendar instead of moving my mouse to the start button, clicking, looking where the item programs is, moving my mouse there, then find and move to accesoires then find and move to calendar (assuming you have a calendar there).
