Now this is exactly what I don't understand.  For the last 15 years the
net has been full articles of...wait for it.."Oh yeah Linux is too hard
cause you have to know the command line".

We spent years building GUI tools trying to dispel that.

Oh and "Seriously" was part of the theme, thus the subject line.
Have a nice weekend.
