How things have changed. I remember, back in 1991 or 1992, teaching our secretary how to use a computer. Typing was no problem, it was the mouse that freaked her out - I had to put her hand on the mouse then put my hand on hers and move it around (it looked pretty incriminating!). Whether the GUI or the command line is easier depends on (a) what you're used to and (b) what exactly you're trying to do. If you want to open a program, clicking on an icon is easier. If you want to find out the status of files in a directory, typing "ll" is easier. There's nothing inherently arcane about either of them.
