In fact, in the ideal world, IMO, we should have both a GUI and a CLI because some people find GUIs easier and some find CLI easier. We're just built differently.
I've seen Linux distros in the last 5 years, and maybe it's me just me, but I still find them terribly lacking in even the most basic things you do in Windows. Their "start menu" IMO is still an ancient relic. There's still no window grouping which we've had since Windows 7 (being Linux, I'd assume there's an option to disable it, though).
I also find it so difficult to find options because they're so poorly organized and/or missing. Some simple stuff like changing region and keyboard layout seems incredibly difficult to me last time I tried.
Maybe it's just my lack of knowledge of Linux. Maybe I'm just used to Windows. Who knows? But from my experience, what I said is still relevant.
