The command prompt is most useful when used for executing scripts (.bat on Win) or adminstrating servers (especially on linux and similar systems). If you are familiar with it, you can navigate the directories on your drive faster and finish keyboard heavy tasks quicker because you don't have to switch between keyboard and mouse. And, although I don't know any for Windows, GNU/Linux and other unxoid systems offer many useful tools which are only acessible through command line. You may be able to achieve the same using programs with GUI, but a command prompt script will probably be faster.
