Why should I have to take a computer science course and memorize a whole language to install a program, manipulate files, change a configuration, etc… Not all of us who use computers for a living are programmers. I manage several computers that perform different tasks, but thats only part of my job. Dropping into CLI is something I only need to do a few times a year only because some of the software I use has no other UI. I’ll posit that people like myself use GUIs much easier because they are self learning. I don’t need a CS degree just to use it, all the options are laid before me to see at once. It’s the fastest way for me to do what I want with the software and move on with my life.
