  Well yes, that's embarrassing for them, but I wouldn't consider it grounds for a hard refusal. Hiring cheap help is potentially decent business practice for low-stakes work. Refusal seems more appropriate if there was real damage from the software that raised it to an issue of professional ethics...

    If they can't use the command line they suck. period.

      I can't agree. Would you say the same for someone who was a pure designer? I doubt it. Would it suddenly become true if they picked up a little bit of admin-by-GUI on the side? Again, doubt it. But then how much technical skill can you have before the command-line-or-they-suck clause kicks in? It may have been true for the particular guy your previous boss hired, but it's unsupportable as a generalization.
