Any time Windows needs a fix, you're instructed to use the CLI. So this is a bullshit argument, as modern Linux distributions don't require the CLI either (for day to day work). Personally I like the CLI, but I used it in Windows as well (ran DOS programs where I could). -- The more I see of Windows, the more I like Linux.
