It seems like your question is about the learning curve from the sqlplus CLI compared to the MySQL Workbench GUI. If I'm right about that, I don't think there will be much of a learning curve for you at all as I think Workbench is probably a lot easier to use than sqlplus. Also, for basic queries, I don't think you'll have much trouble switching from Oracle SQL to MySQL. They're pretty similar, in my opinion.
sqlplus is quite an ancient piece of SW ... It lacks many modern CLI environment features just to name command history. It's usability is far behind similar tools for MySQL/MariaDB (mysql/mariadb) and PostgreSQL (psql).
For working with Oracle DB one can use other tools from Oracle such as SQLDeveloper or SQLCLI. SQLDeveloper is an IDE-kind of program.
SQLcl a command line tool wrtten in
Java and is to a high degree compatible to the command set of sqlplus. However, it supports many additional features such as history, better output formatting etc.
