The tools are meant for those who live on the command line, this more or less excludes 'non-technical people'. For those non-technical people there is always the multitude of web things, the Windows tool which started this thread and the plain ol' Library, the which the Library Genesis project - that is, the original version as headed by Bookwarrior - aims/aimed to be.
Let there always be tools tailored to specific group's needs, the one-size-fits-all approach nearly always ends up dumbing down the interface by removing 'difficult to use' functions and 'complicated' options to present a Fisher-prize interface with big happy buttons and lots of open space.
Also notice that the Books tools weigh in at 47K compressed, there is something to be said for light and nimble tools.
