The gvfsd-smb mount daemons are per-user processes, so they can't put
files in a system wide location such as /media. In addition to that,
most network mounts require you to provide some credentials to
authenticate, so the mounts are completely user-specific and should go
in /home (unless you want your network mounts accessible to every user
on the system).

Your argument doesn't really make sense. "Newbies" don't navigate the
file system on the command line. They navigate the file system using the
filemanager, and other graphical applications which support GIO and make
it incredibly easy to access network mounts.

when I map a drive in nautilus it does not create a folder in /media so I 
cannot use command line toos with the mapping
