I know it’s easy to think that it’s about showing off, but honestly, the Linux graphical tools are much worse than the command line most of the time.
Installing software is much faster and more reliable using the command line than any graphical tool I’ve used.
It really depends.
For formatting drives i.e. i much prefer the GUI.
Gparted is nicer for some stuff, for basics it’s hard to go wrong with cfdisk IMO. Or even plain fdisk. Very useful to actually know how to use that if you don’t have access to gparted, e.g., system recovery or install, and cfdisk is super easy to use too.
