That's when you go to alternativeto.net and get a different one. If you're running into that problem then you just are using the wrong tools.

We're talking about programs that are equally useful in both GUI and CLI, we're not talking about libre office which is necessarily complex or a video editing program with a thousand transitions. Those are always going to be cryptic and always going to be GUI.

The problem with CLI is it can't be made easier with a different interface.
