There’s one case when you can’t avoid using command line. If you ask someone on Internet to help you, he will say you to type some commands. No window clicking, no screenshots will help. All GUIs are different, but CLI is (almost) always the same, and its output is well searchable. That’s why you see numerous command line listings in each topic discussing problems and could decide it’s impossible to use Linux without coding.

In depends on how dumb the user is. If you want to see drive C:\ and don’t want to learn why there’s no such a thing, forget about Linux (and any other OS except the only one you are familiar with). If you are ready to learn new concepts and just don’t want to remember numerous commands, that’s OK, just pick up a distro with advanced DE and graphical admin tools.

“Easy to use” means that you do less and get more. Learning doesn’t count if you learn something once and then use the skills you obtained many times.

No, some piano plays are still harder than others, mo matter how long you practice. Editing text with vim is easier than with nano after some practice.

It is easier after you learn basics. Learning is not easy, but usage is.

Vim (or emacs, or any other advanced text editor) is much easier to use than nano when you need to do something more complex than type couple of lines.
