Au contraire mon ami.

The productivity of a DBA still working at the command line and trying to manage DataGuard, RMAN, GRID, ASM, ADDM, etc. is perilously close to zero.

It is time to get with the program or some 20+ year old that is still willing to learn new things will take your job for far less money and be far more productive.
