No way. With a decent shell, the command line is leagues ahead. And I'm not even an expert in using shells; I just use basic history search, and never have to type in a complex command more than once, even if I need to change some of the arguments.

Depends on what you mean by easier. If you mean easier to get it to do what YOU want then maybe. Command line is almost always more powerful, with more options. Especially for chaining programs together or scripting things.
Id have to say that GUI are easier but also limiting. They can be easier for doing whatever the programmer has decided to let you do.
