As someone that was happy that I could finally afford owning computers with a graphics display on them, this going back to the terminal doesn't stop surprising me.

We still do horses, but hardly anyone is favouring them for travelling around the continent delivering mail.

Kudos to the people that would rather experience that, I guess.

The horse and car comparison really doesn't work since if anything terminals are higher performance and efficiency than guis. They just have a learning curve and no eye candy.

On case per case basis, depending on what tools one makes use of.

Sure there are bad clis and good guis but that's the minority from my experience

There are plenty of good guis, they just tend to be for things other than programming. That said they do exist.
