The use of command line is literally Linux's biggest strength and why they dominate the server space. Linux servers can be run "headless" with no monitor and no Graphical User Interface. Command Line only. GUI takes so much processing power from the CPU/GPU and it eats up RAM.
Until very recently, Windows servers required much higher system specs to run the server because windows was never primarily command line. You always had to have a GUI, no headless.
MS has gone whole hog with PowerShell, their answer to Linux. They even have versions of server that run headless now.
Sorry, I just think its a little funny that your biggest complaint is the thing that made Linux so powerful and that Windows has been playing catch-up with Linux in that arena for over a decade now.
i don't doubt that linux has its uses and command-line is powerful. What I'm saying is >80% of users only know how to use a GUI, and that is why linux won't go mainstream without having a GUI for everything user-facing.
