   It depends...   
      
   Yes, if you are a Slackware user, using your computer as a personal   
   computer as you want to learn Unix, you should learn how to manage your   
   computer from the terminal.   
      
   Yes, if you are a system administrator, providing Slackware on servers   
   and workstations used by multiple users, you should know how to manage   
   all those machines from the command line. This includes stuff like   
   building and deploying custom packages with software and settings and   
   connecting those machines in a network with common view of users and some   
   disks.   
      
   But no, if you are using Slackware as a base to build a more or less   
   embedded product serving some kind of specific purpose like a LAMP-server   
   or DNS-server for users and administrators in a network not willing or   
   capable of learning Unix, webmin might be a good choice to manage that   
   product.
