Just want to say a rousing "hear hear" on your fine explanation of DOS
GUI's and other such interfaces.
People for whom the DOS commands are a second language often forget how
difficult it can be to learn and how much time can be occluded by that.
When users are busy working and learning their job, they may well be unable
to free the time and mental energy to learning a whole new "language."
