The command prompt is one of the major hurdles in getting adoption into linux, where even if one is used to a 'DOS' command-line tool, it's like learning a new language.
Thing is windows command prompt is a major POS if compared to Linux bash terminal, it's day and night, working with the terminal is a breeze, it autocompletes pretty much everything, suggests installing a new tool when you type in a command which is unavailable, among other things.
besides, like you said, much can be done using the graphical interface, for the few things you may have to use the terminal for, if it's something you have to do frequently, you can always create a script (as simple as pasting the command in a text file and saving with a .sh extension), then , using the gui on mint, set up a keyboard shortcut to launch said script
