Command line isn't not n00b friendly, just merely a different way of
accessing applications and managing the system. Might sound stupidly
elitist and like 'the cancer that's killing linux audio', but you
can't expect to run and use a linux or any other unix based OS without
using the CLI once or twice IMHO. Whereas windows gives you the
ability to do everything with a mouse and a GUI, linux gives you the
choice of either using a GUI to run the app or launching it via a
terminal.

OS X, a unix based OS, would tend to disagree with you. And has done a fairly successful job doing so at that. The majority of the time that it is easier to troubleshoot something on #ardour-osx by using the console output, or using the terminal to enter a command, I have to tell users exactly how to get to the terminal, many of them don't even know it exists.
