I knew about -h but I didn't know man. And that's as someone who's been using Linux for two years and has an engineering degree. Gui is simple in that natural exploration will allow people to intuit where to look for things. Bad gui is worse, as anyone who's worked with erp software knows, but the command line is less intuitive for exploration for many people and that means they build skills in gui.

For me, terminal programs make a lot more sense. They’re also easier to make. GUI limits where you can run and what it can do. I mostly code server side stuff, but sometimes I make web and desktop apps, so I’ve got plenty of experience coding them all. I also understand most people don’t want what I want or like what I like.
