Not me. Command line is faster and more accurate. It also works more consistent over different releases. You can also "show" other experts more easily what your problem is by copy and pasting the command line and the output, and they can more easily reproduce it. Its less hassle in general.
Usually in the time it takes to log into Enterprise Manager and navigate to the place I need to go I have already finished the task on the command line and left the office to get a coffee.

I'm going to suggest an alternative point of view. There are many tasks that are horribly slow and complicated to do from a command line, and simple with Enterprise Manager. For instance: setting up the Resource Manager; configuring alerts; identifying blocking sessions in a RAC; setting up Streams. Sure, you can write the code to do these things yourself - but you will be a lot more productive if you let OEM generate the code for you.

You have a point there, John. Beside knowledge itself, what makes live easy is a good repository of scripts that do common tasks. When you work a few years you start to accumulate them over time, but for a newcomer OEM might be a good option to get a start on those scripts. As long as he gets not to reliant on that additional level of abstraction, and still learns some of the basics that go on under the hood.
