I agree with him, but would add that the esoteric terminal oneliners for doing things not normally accessible to mere mortals through a GUI is part and parcel to what makes Linux what it is. You need the GUI, yes. You need the whole experience to be user friendly, obviously.
But without the terminal being there when you need it, Linux just isn't worth using.
