additionally:

if you teach new users to the software-center they will not really
aprreciate it reading as example that rsync is a cool tool with
command examples in whatever linux magazine and don't find in
that was told them to install software

that leads easily in "oh fedora don't have that"

"if you don't know how to use the commandline" is a bad attitude

how do you learn to use it from scratch?
by find examples and commands somewhere in the internet or magazines

summary:

a good software-center simply would have two tabs

* graphical software (default)
* command line tools

the command line tools in doubt does not need more than
the description of the RPM packages already present

do not forget how *you* learned to deal with your linux system
do not build barriers that complete new users have the same chance
