As anyone here having said anything like that ? You asked other people
opinion, i just gave mine.
If you want comparison between windows and Linux, please compare what is
comparable.

When you introduce someone to windows, do you explain it to dir, mkdir,
xcopy and all relevant dos commands ? I don't think so, cause peoples use
window explorer for such tasks. If you want the same approach on Linux, use
KFM or GMC, each one with their relevant help systems, very close to
windows help.

Try to use documentation about dir command from windows help... You only
access windows help from here, beacause that's the only doc available, and
there is only one environement available. On Linux, you have several
environement available, each with its particularity. So several help
systems.
