I disagree with this. First I don't know of any functions intentionally left out of the CLI in order to 'force this'.

Best Example: Management of the CIFS Server ("Windows Drive Sharing").

Every one of the things that could be CLI that seem to be missing have been provided by others or by APIs.

An API is *not* an replacement for a CLI Command.

Second you must understand the level of frustration that new to the platform people face when forced to CLI.

Same as with Linux. But honestly, are there any new to the platform people?

Sorting is easier on displays.

Granted, but this could be also achieved with Subfiles. But because implementation is very cumbersome, it's usually not done.

MASSIVELY more data can be displayed on my double staked 4K Monitors than can be displayed on a 24x80 green screen now 4 ft tall!

Also granted. But there's still a little bit more space with 132x27. ;-)

I find this argument rather like the truck drivers who swear they won't drive a truck with an automatic transmission because 'that ain't driving.' They are ignoring the fact that the automatic allows for smoother shifts, better economy, lower maintenance, and opens up truck driving for vastly more drivers!

Are we talking about users or admins? AFAIR about admins, so you want to compare repairsmen, and then your analogy is futile. ;-)
