I hate the commandline. I am a poor typist and as I age my memory for
remembering the commands and syntax is not what it used to be. It has its
use, but for the most part you can do without it. If it is commandline, I
prefer to cut and paste. It saves lots of re-typing.
The problem is that people do not specify when they ask for help. Most of
the people helping are CLI users. So it is the first thing they think of. If
you want GUI help say so. Otherwise you will get lots of jargon and things
that you don't need or want to know.
