Poor wording, more so meant that when I drop into vim, vi, or emacs I have no way to (without some external knowledge) know how to open a file tree. Just a barrier to usage is all.

By external knowledge, do you mean knowing how the program you're using works?

the point of the GUI is that folks can intuit how a program works without having to be versed in how it works.

		Okay. For what it's worth, vim tells you that you can type :help to get help every time you start it up. It would take a while until you got to the section about the file tree, though.
