The Art of UNIX programming by Eric Raymond quotes Brian Kerninghan:
On the other hand, the 'user-friendly' GUIs of other operating systems have their own problems. Finding the right buttons to push is like playing Adventure: the interfaces are just as burdensome as any Unix command line interface, save that one in theory can find the treasure by sufficient exploration. In Unix, one needs the manual.
