I mean it's so logical, I have real troubles figuring out why so many people don't get it.
You can't immediately see what options you have in a command line.
In a UI, you see the "menu" button right there.
If you have no idea about anything, in a UI, you can still click on the menu button, and are presented with more options.
In a command line, if you have absolutely no clue, what do you need to do? Honestly, you have to ask someone who knows (be it a friend, a manual, or web search). You can randomly start typing or press keys, but the chance to get to something useful is very low.
