No, most people don’t need to learn shell scripting to browse the internet, play games, or send emails. Especially if they have jobs that don’t involve a lot of computer work. And it’s unfair to expect them to learn that just so they can use their computer as they were before.

Neither do I, but I do need shell scripting to automate tasks. I'm not against there being some visual user-friendly environment for doing that. That would be the right way to go, not saying people don't need shell scripting. Something like Scratch.
