Powerful stuff needs a ton of parameters.
Too many parameters deter unfamiliar users.
So unless Linux hides the most obscure settings and makes the most used settings easy to use through a GUI like Windows does, it will never go mainstream.
A regular user would rather work around a problem than use a terminal.
I've been impressed with how many settings Linux has gotten in to GUIs, at least in KDE and XFCE. Sure, it's not every option, but it's usually better organized and easier to get through than what ever the hell Windows has done with keeping the control panel et. al. around so long while making so many settings disappear into the new settings UI.
