Hm... developers which never touches the terminal?! Seems like a really narrow group (?)

Not really. At a previous workplace, we used two different IDEs for the two programming languages we needed to work with, and wrote GUI apps to handle whatever we might otherwise need a terminal to handle. We even had a GUI for git. (git was a great blessing.) If we needed to run a script (which was rare), we would double click on it. I used a terminal because I never bothered to learn the git GUI and because one of the IDEs was terrible, but I'm legitimately uncertain if I ever saw anyone else working with a terminal. We were using Windows. I think it was a relatively typical workplace.

Power users will always be able to use the terminal to great effect, but if most developers have to use it to get work done, that's a pretty damning statement as to the quality of our developer experience.
