True to an extent, though some well designed GUI features can be nifty. In past years I was quite at home with VMS command lines. I also enjoy hacking in C/C++ in which you can do things that Coffee would never allow you to do, but I'm not enamoured with Posix notation and I think an OS command language should be clear and easy to remember.
Personally, I get impatient with having to consult man pages time and time again.

I was typing just as you were posting, I mentioned having been in several places where they had a few experts of the Unix/Linux camp and yet used Windoze even for many servers.
