Command prompts can be quickly used to accomplish things that cannot be accomplished via using a graphical user interface. Some people can do something (like finding out their own internal IP address) much faster and more efficiently by using the command prompt then they can if they were to click through menus. Furthermore, in the event that the desktop is unavailable, the command prompt can be the only way of performing certain repair tasks (like fixboot/fixmbr commands when a windows CD is booted in 'repair mode', to fix an unbootable computer).
