Topic Command line (CLI) GUI Ease Because of the memorization and familiarity needed to operate a command line interface, new users have a difficult time navigating and operating a command line interface. Although new users may have a difficult time learning to use the mouse and all GUI features, most users pick up this interface much easier when compared to a command line interface. Control Users have much more control of their file system and operating system in a command line interface. For example, users can copy a specific file from one location to another with a one-line command. Although a GUI offers plenty of control of a file system and operating system, the more advanced tasks may still need a command line.
