Please keep in mind that our focus is the desktop user. It isn't our
primary goal to innovate the CLI. We want to make computers easy to
use for everyone (not just geeks) and with the CLI we will only reach
a limited audience. In contrast, the GUI will be used by all of our
users and we have a **lot** of work to do if we want to achieve our
goal of a seriously easy to use operating system.

Before we invest time in trying to improve the CLI we must get the GUI right.
