I hear that false dichotomy so many time that I lost count. That's is an
idiotic mindset. You can have a gui that is also manipulable all via
keyboard in an efficient manner.
gnome-do is a good example of this:

I'm using Quicksilver [1] on OS X, which seems to be the same thing as
gnome-do.
Because of that mindset, we are in 2014 and all terminal emulator are
complete garbage to the point I ended up coding my own (which is garbage
as well but at least does what I do and I can fix it when it doesn't,
and it is in D :) ).
I'm using iTerm2 [2] on OS X. I think it's pretty good. Some of the cool
features it supports:
* Drag and drop to download/upload files to/from server via SCP/SSH
* Bookmarks. It can also automatically set special bookmarks for each
prompt, I found this very useful
* Silent and visual bell
* Notifications
* Cmd+click on files/folders/links will open the item in the default
application
* Render inline images
* Toolbelt, basically a side bar that can show different panes like
command history, captured output, jobs, recent directories and so on
* tmux integration, this basically means tmux tabs and split panes can
be mapped to native tabs and split panes
Then some of more standard boring features: themes, profiles, tabs and
split panes.
