I know how to do things on the command line and luckily we have a good team to do all the work for our clients. But why would i do manually with for instance setting up a domain, when i can also do it with one click of a button in a control panel, less change you make a mistake or anything. It is just so much faster. Can you get security problems, yes. but you can also get those when not installing a control panel. You should just have a good host that use a IDS (intrusion detection system)
Control panel are the way to go and as professional as use the command line. Of course something thing are just faster when using the command line. So using a combination of both is perfect.

Whatever makes things easier for you but there's nothing "professional" about using a panel. It's not faster than the command line. In fact, it adds a layer of obfuscation between you and the server. You're stuck with panel dependencies, specific daemons/configurations and all sorts of unnecessary services aka. bloat.
I don't understand anyone thinking panels are a good idea...ever. If you can't manage a server without a control panel, you shouldn't be managing a server. Not being able to manage a server isn't a bad thing but if your business depends on your server(s), you're crazy to not leave the administrative duties to a professional.
