That's no outdated perspective. It's a matter of one's point of view, nothing more.

if you think there's no meaningful advantage to a powerful commandline, may i direct your attention to Microsoft's recent desperate attempt to provide something for "power" users: Powershell!

this has of course nothing to do with "magic", linux definitely needs some of that to be more successful in mainstream markets.
i just couldn't let that comment stand


edit:
upon reading your post a second time, i guess i misinterpreted what you referred to by "advantage". disregard this post.
