It certainly is easier for you or me, but not for an average person. Let's look at the command names. find, sort, and even mount are ok. curl? Does it have anything to do with curling? cat? What do cats have to do with files? Oh, it's because I'm using a mouse, isn't it. mv? Why not move? Or going back to previous examples, why not fnd or srt? Consistency is important and you don't want users to guess. grep, xdg-open, and systemctl are just random letters for most. And that's just those who can speak English. If someone doesn't, it's just nonsense for them. > One has to be trained to right-click. One has to be trained to understand which commands exist and what do they do. I can't imagine someone without any training typing `grep -nRIiw`. Sure, you can look it up in the manual, but that's the thing - you shouldn't. You should consult the manual when you're using something for the first time or something isn't working. I can pick up any vacuum cleaner or get in a rental car and start operating them right away. I have to look up how flag works with different CLI apps. I shouldn't have to. Good design should be obvious. That's why we're not typing `systemctl poweroff --force` to turn off a TV, we just press a button on a remote. And I can pick up remotes from other TV sets and turn them off without looking up their manuals. > nothing is ever consistent even on the "same" operating system. Funny you mention that. I tried some of your commands. Turns out, I don't have systemctl or pdfgrep installed. So much for consistency.
