Why do people always assume GNU+Linux relies on a command line these days!? That's like saying Windows does... I.e. it's not true. Maybe if you go back to the Win9x and DOS days.
I swear, if you're going to complain about possibly the only OS that fully respects users and their freedom, how about you actually use it first and understand it's GUI mechanisms before spouting nonsense.
Windows is dominant because of extreme anti-competitive and other nasty practices in the past. The reason it's still dominant is because it has locked itself into it's dominant position since people are used to it (they still do many nasty practices today, as well)
I don't think you've seen the number of power user articles these days that give you two options :

It's was definitely one of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" kinda things, but now they've realised they've created a monster.
