Linux administration will become GUI
I am confident that the future of Linux server administration will rely less on the command line, and that most server admins will use a GUI interface. To understand why this will happen, lets take a look at the success of Windows servers.
Learn from history
Windows servers have always included a graphical user interface, and there is no indication that this will change. In fact, the popularity of Windows servers is largely due to the fact that server admins could manage their servers with the same interface they used on their desktop. Novell's Netware started out with a huge lead in the server market, but server admins started migrating to Windows because they were more comfortable with the interface.
Why should server admins need to learn two operating systems when they can just use Windows?

lmao
Not sure what REAL WORLD experience lets you write such ridiculous statements, but in EVERY real IT shop I've ever worked with, CLI rules.
So much so, that even Microsoft is jumping on that bandwagon.
Here's a snip from Microsofts W2K8 page:
