"we should be focusing our polishing efforts elsewhere, and leave the
CLI optimized for people who need or prefer it."

So is there a papercut for taking the terminal out of the desktop .iso
by default and then forcing desktop users to install it via Synaptic if
they want it? Or taking all terminal commands out of the community site
documentation? New users aren't pasting in terminal commands they've
memorized. They are getting these commands from tutorials targeted at
new users.

If you are going to take the "Well, new users shouldn't be using the
terminal anyway" approach, you have to fully back that approach and not
encourage them to use the terminal.
