From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sometimes I just need to type one or two quick commands, maybe at the current path. I don't think this is necessarily to do a lot of work, it's just to give some more flexibility. I can see myself tapping F4, typing "chown blabla something", tapping F4 again, or similar because it's quick and easy.
Nothing wrong in having options that some might find useful sometimes. As long as it doesn't bother those who don't use it.
It's like Yakuake but with the added benefit of being in the current directory.
