> Put yourself in the position of someone who doesn't use computers very often Actually, let's not. There's no justification for hobbling utility of computers for those who do use them in order to make them putatively more understandable to those who do not. Of course, your point still stands: the established conventions - common icons, CLIs, WIMP interfaces, etc. - are the language that's evolved among those who do use computers, and attempting to replace it with something cut from whole cloth makes computing less accessible to everyone.
