When I get those people typically I'll switch to Emacs (it's always open), use dired and rename 20 files at once, using either a keyboard macro I make on the spot or using a regexp replace.
This usually not only get them to shut up for good, they also typically then see me as the "computer wizard".
I demo'ed some terminal (piping command calls) and Emacs tricks to a very good dev who's using JetBrains tools. He got it and was very respectful... He told me: "yeah I can see the appeal, but it's not for me".
The CLI / terminal / command line utils won: LLMs have proved that. The discussion is over.
