Why? Because it has almost no overhead, and has the most flexibility. Can the 3 year old (assuming they understood the process) select items from one file based on selection Then pull items from another file using a related ID and save that list.
Perform that again on two other files and save that list. Merge those two, and then push that list into an application that emails a file The above would take 2-3 min to do with telnet. IT would take significantly longer to do with a GUI front end. telnet is excellent for administration and development. Once you know what you want, then you can use the GUI to setup a nice interface for those that want to point and click. Why is DOS still on Windows? Because there are some things you just can't do easily with windows, Or without writing/buying an application.

In today's world a 3 year old can use an iPad to access a Universe or Unidata database application. We sell an Alpaca herd management that runs on the iPad and our granddaughter used the application "Who's your daddy?" to find out who the alpaca's daddy is. Sorry, another digression.
