I disagree, though I may be pessimistic in the intelligence of the majority.
Once you have to start delving into typing commands and leaving the comfort of a good GUI, things go downhill. It's my opinion that
you should not have to touch a commandline. It seems to be the same opinion of the KDE and GNOME guys as well (though
Torvalds doesn't seem to like what GNOME does).
I mean, what happens when the user is running their own system and they type su and their root password and get root. Go running around and type something along the lines of rm -rf / or rm -rf * in the wrong directory? What happens when they start mucking with /etc? The average user should not be allowed anywhere near the commandline, especially when the OS doesn't support file locking the way Windows does.
