That's defintiely the wrong title.
No, it's not the user catching Linux in trying to pretend user friendliness witht the terminal.
It's Linux catching the user in still hating it when he gets the wanted user friendliness, for the sole reason of being conditioned to hate the terminal.

I'm not sure which all ones it is, but I know the gnome terminal does and I'm pretty sure Konsole does as well. Obviously not every program you run in the terminal is going to support it but off the top of my head I remember vim does as well as I'm pretty sure dialog
I want to point and click.

How do people use Windows without CLI?
It’s way harder to GUI-only than Linux
Menus upon menus upon menus!
