yes, there is konsole, but for quick one off commands, its often overkill.

There are a lot of external commands that you'd want to run from the client...
/exec host <some hostname>
/exec host <some ip>
/exec whois <some hostname>
/exec whois <some ip>
All of those are common cases, and that's not even getting into typical "power user" scenarios, such as checking a host against DNSBLs, setting up ssh/ssl tunnels, and stuff.

Also, once there's scripting capability, it will be desireable to invoke and interact with shell commands from scripts.
