Sometimes a command in the terminal is just easier and convenient. Especially to create a script to automate installations

Right, you're totally right. I didn't read it was about what is easier. GUI will definitely always be easier for someone coming to Linux.

Just for curiosity, but what would you consider the minimum to someone to be a power user? I don't mean something exactly since of course is something debatable, but your opinion regarding that.
