The command prompt is NOT prehistoric. If you're averse to using it then Linux isn't for you.

Well, I would like to argue against you, but the thing is that you are right. Linux isn't for me despite the fact that I have meddled with computers for years, know my bit of programming, and regularly toy with such things as databases, websites, and technical communication.
Why? Like said before: I don't want to take 20+ hours just to learn how to get the goddamn OS to do the stuff I want it to do when Windows does it with a click. Screw command-prompt. I'm happy to pay the cash to get to do some real work right away. (Or, knowing how infamous MS is, simply warezzing it.)
Unfortunately, it's the programmers who usually prefer the prompts and it's the programmers who develope the OS. Which leads to the fact that Linux will never become popular enough for mass-markets until they get some humane usability-experts into the cadre. And maybe kick out some pre-historic Unix-gurus from the stool.
