Another weird thought:
Operating a web browser is actually more complicated than using a Bash shell or DOS prompt, but we don’t realize it because all the visual stimulus tricks us into thinking it’s easier than it actually is.
The intimidating aspect about CLIs are the wall of text. Yet, we all use CLIs every day with a web browser. We just don’t realize it because—yay, memes!
