I think something like MS-DOS. A CLI is good, because it gives you a record of what happened, but Unix-style shells are packed with foot-guns as documented in the Unix-Hater's Handbook[0]. Even with a healthy mind I've lost data to incorrect quoting. MS-DOS is simpler. Lack of multitasking helps too.
