The kids of today hate command lines and won't learn to use them?

Seriously, that wouldn't surprise me: "I won't use Linux because you need 
to use command lines all the time" is still a common refrain, usually 
heard when somebody asks how to make some system change and is told to 
use a command line or two. This is apparently not considered a worthwhile 
counterbalance to the M$ truth that you often can't do the equivalent 
change in Windows because the config file is encrypted to stop you making 
that change.
