      Unix was meant to be much friendlier than the mainframe systems that wer prevalent at the time and which wer horrible to use without a lot of training (or even with it). By contrast, Unix commands were simple, self documenting. Anyone could use it.

          All the current GUIs are basically the same Once you’ve seen a couple WIMP interfaces, you’ve seen them all.
