Not to mention that it equates all CLI's with that horrible, no-tab-completion abomination that was the DOS command prompt. Sure, the commands in UNIX (and variants) were cryptic, but at least you could have real filenames (not that 8.3 nonsense) and do real programming with the shell, pipes, job control, and of course the already mentioned tab-completion. If you don't understand why some people still love the CLI, you probably haven't used a good one, or don't understand the power a good one gives you. DOS CLI was to UNIX CLI what Win95 was to OS/2 multitasking.
