      I mean it’s so logical, I have real troubles figuring out why so many people don’t get it.

      You can’t immediately see what options you have in a command line.

      In a UI, you see the “menu” button right there.

      If you have no idea about anything, in a UI, you can still click on the menu button, and are presented with more options.

      In a command line, if you have absolutely no clue, what do you need to do? Honestly, you have to ask someone who knows (be it a friend, a manual, or web search). You can randomly start typing or press keys, but the chance to get to something useful is very low.

        That’s like saying Windows does… I.e. it’s not true. Maybe if you go back to the Win9x and DOS days.

        I don’t think you’ve seen the number of power user articles these days that give you two options :

        • Wade through 27 levels of keys and subkeys in regedit, create this dword, then stop and start this inscrutably-named service, or
        • Run this one line command in PowerShell.

            It’s was definitely one of those “seemed like a good idea at the time” kinda things, but now they’ve realised they’ve created a monster.
