I don't think I agree with this, having been on both sides of the fence, so to speak. I think it is most definitely possible to create a GUI that is just as powerful as a command line, without it being impossible to use. I use photoshop on a regular basis, and I'd sure hate to have to do all those steps in a command line!
The real issue here lies in that everyone learns differerently. Some people are visual learners and appreciate a GUI, and others can visualize in an abstract manner and therefore prefer a command line interface. It doesn't mean either is better than the other, it just proves that, like everything else, personal preferences play a very strong part in the way an individual finds easiest to accomplish a given task.
