In terms of performance, they can be equal, since both can be integrated into the kernel. A GUI will likely consume more resources, but on a fast enough system, this would be negligible. The real issue is the speed it takes to perform a certain action. For most purposes, a CLI will be faster to input data. A GUI is sometimes better for non-repetitive but highly complex tasks - like editing video or 3D modeling.

Why do you use shell commands?
Once upon a time, all computers were controlled by typing instructions. There was no GUI 'Graphic User Interface' as on modern computers. Whilst there is nothing wrong in using GUI entirely, some users would rather use the CLI 'Command Line Interface' on a terminal, either entirely or partly. Provided the user knows the code to type, it is often faster using CLI than the mouse and GUI.
