Period? What period? Education period? :) I think that depends on the
admin. Some like GUI tools, some don't. If I can do something faster
with GUI, I'll do that with GUI. I think "command-liners" and "GUI
lovers" are two opposite sides in the "the-best-admin-way"
confrontation ;)

Some time ago Python wasn't the language for shell scripting. Like PHP
now. Perl was on the top those days. Now Perl is getting old. May be
PHP will replace it? :) Especially if no Perl6 would be released.

I think it is always on CentOS because of yum. I hope some good PHP
admin helper script will be also installed in some repository by
default one day :)
