Why complain about something you don't need to use if you don't want to?

What's great about the commandline? Scriptability, automation, configurability, composability, the easy re-running of complex commands with a small tweak, access Unix commandline tools that have been fined tuned over decades.

And to compare the terminal to DOS is not to understand the gulf in quality between them.
