A lot of people like the command line, the CLI, the shell (name it as you want) because it provides a lot of powerful tools to perform investigations. The best example is probably parsing logs! Even if we have SIEM to ingest and process them, many people still fall back to the good old suite of grep, cut, awk, sort, uniq, and many more.
