That's true for common people, indeed.
> User-friendliness is difficult to establish precisely.
Yes, it's an abstract and subjective thing, but on average we know what is. For example, have commandline as unique option for restart or shutdown the computer is not a common-people-friendly way. ed, sam or acme to edit a simple text file wouldn't be friendly if the user were my mom: maybe notepad would be a better choice for her. Browse by the directory tree with the cd command isn't friendly for them too: perhaps a traditional file manager with a list of directories in a column in left and selected directory content on the right would be better.

software/documentation to meet your own needs seems a more productive
start
It's a good advice and I'll take it in consideration. Thank you.
