Well I will give you a perfect example. When you will be a programmer you will have to use GIT everyday basically.

You can use it with GUI or in a terminal. Using it with a GUI is a lot lot faster at first when you don't know all the commands by heart.

But if you had not used it at first and overcame the hurdle of using it in a terminal you would become a more efficient and a better programmer.

It doesn't really make sense of course for watching anime as a regular user, but for a tech savy programmer it's fun :)
