I guess it depends on your ideas of simple vs. easy. I find a GUI simple because I can explore it to see the options if I’m a little lost. The Unix command line is exceedingly difficult to get useful information out of if you don’t already know how it works. Need help? Don’t type “help” because it will just stare back at you blankly. The commands themselves are not easy. Each one takes flags, mostly a single letter, and the same flags have different meanings in different commands. Cmd-P is print in every goddamned GUI app I’ve ever used. Cmd-Q is quit. Cmd-C is copy. That’s simple to me. Having to memorize a bunch of flags with conflicting meanings or key commands to change modes in an app is not simple to me.
