You are probably right about that. Most people would find it easier to do it
your way.
I've tinkered with attaching devices to GNU/Linux for 14 years, so that meant
typing "sudo mount ..." like a million times already :-) Nothing to remember
in my case.
Back in the old days you were happy if you could buy a device that would work
at all! Using a GUI or CLI wasn't the important issue.
Just so you know, Richard M. Stallman prefers the CLI to a GUI. So, not just
for sys admins. But it can be a PITA compared to a GUI. If you are a hacker,
however, you must like using the CLI. I think it is in the rules somewhere.
