I'll agree that the CLI is harder to learn than DOS (mainly because there are so many more commands compared to DOS' 11 or so) but on the other hand it is far more powerful. These days though, desktops environments like GNOME and KDE have made some giant leaps in usability (as well as looking nice, I'll post a screenshot when I get home).

BTW, Unix came first and MS was once a Unix licensee. link
