Some people can't stand using GUI at all, and only want to work from the command line. Others would have a fit if they even saw a command line interpreter. Some people want intimate control over every detail of their system configuration, and will grumble about a system that holds their hands and does things without asking. Others just want to have a system that works with no effort on their part, and will grumble if the installation asks them even a simple question.

YES! Exactly! And if you change even the slightest little thing, Aunt Gertie gets seriously bent.
