The GUI can be quite useful, but working at the console is preferred by those who are used to working on consoles in linux, *BSD, and various unices. Also, you can write scripts to perform repetative or complex processes and run them from the command line. The GUI does not support this.
Please note that (Python) scripting is possible via the GUI as well. There is a Python tab and a simple Python script editor integrated (since at least version 7.4). Simple examples are also included. I don't use them, so I don't have an opinion about their usability. There is also the wxGUI Graphical Modeler. It too has the script editor integrated. In 2008, I requested for such an option: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/131. Not speaking Python at the time, I asked for help to learn. I think it can be a good starting point in Python scripting for GRASS GIS. The 'Help' menu offers links to various resources. Adding one or two more resources, like https://github.com/wenzeslaus/python-grass-addon, is meaningful. Nikos
Either on a 'getting started' or wiki page is a list of commands to start grass. In your installation 'grass' and 'grass74' are synonymous. If you run multiple versions (e.g., 7.4.x and 7.5svn) then you want to assign each to a unique name.
