It may seem hard at first, it’s just that people are scared of the terminal. It’s not as if widely used programs with fancy UIs aren’t also complex.
I’m understanding of people who are just using their computer for web browsing and email, but I’m directing ire towards Windows power users who just expect certain tool sets to materialize for them.
Well, I’m arguing for the common non-IT people. It’s also more often than not less about complexity, but intuitiveness paired with a lack of knowledge (which is okay, as long as it’s well designed it’s okay not to know how a clutch actually works but still wanting or needing to drive a car).
For power users the whole discussion obviously shifts as it’s reasonable to expect them having both the interest and time to learn stuff.
