Umm, that statement hints of error.

Yea command line isn't as nice as GUI (I must admit I miss my days of programing DOS 3.2, it was simpler). But for some reason I doubt you are referring the command line of Linux and are referring to one of over 1000 GUI's built for Linux (not counting custom built GUI's).

I have seen GUI's for Linux that could make you swear it was a Windows OS, same goes for the Mac OS. The only real hindrance is usually found in that the software you would want to use with Linux not being available or very difficult to configure.

I personally insist on Linux servers for my web design. Last I worked with a Linux machine, hands on, was almost 4 years ago when I was consulting on a backoffice server. I personally use Windows systems for all my PC's and would only get a Mac if I was doing CGI rendering. And even then I would set it up to run Windows within the Mac OS for when I wasn't doing CGI.
