>The AWS Console is perfectly usable for 99% of what you'll need to do. Most users won't need anything beyond it.

I believe the author was referring to navigating the filesystem and running commands via CLI (e.g. `cd` and `ls`, not `ec2-describe-instances`).

a lot of the 'development server in a box' type AMIs (like from the AWS marketplace) have cpanel/webmin-type crap.
