Nonsense. Point and click is useful for anyone who uses a tool infrequently and wants to make progress without resorting to a manual. Honestly the average app is not so complex its fundamentals cannot be represented as point-and-click. Its partly ego that keeps people on command lines. As expressed in that comment, which has a vibe of chest-beating.



If a task seems straightforward I will likely apply my past experiences with any similar task, and skip any provided manual until I become unsure or hit an obstacle. This is how normal people approach computing devices.
