As someone not birthed in the unix land, I find this a lot there. "vim/emacs is easy, 'just' learn forty pages of shortcuts and magical incantations and also completely rethink the metaphors you use to interact with text"

"Commandline is way better, 'just' memorize every important command needed to do basic things and all the switches you may ever want"

I think people in general just forget the learning cliff inherent in many things. It's like we don't want to remember or acknowledge that we once struggled with something.
