For example I would not expect a "typical user" to know or want to use a terminal to navigate directories, however as a more experienced user I know one can navigate much more quickly using a terminal than using the hunt and peck style of most file system GUIs.
Some things are useful before they can be made easy. Some things are easy that have more uses with more effort.
