I can't take anymore comments like "Debian/Gentoo/OpenBSD/etc. are not good/user-friendly because they lack a graphical installer." Searching the web, I couldn't find a comprehensive site describing the good and the bad about graphical installers for various OSes throughout the years, so in this article I hope to debunk a few of the myths on the basis of my own personal and professional experience.

But I find your analogy a little exaggerated; I'd rather compare the CLI-stuff with driving a few 100km to some little abbey where they make a fabulous beer. That suits better because most of us don't really code the OS we're using ourselves. Only the developers are real home-brewers
I didn't compare CLI vs GUI stuff with beer, but rather Windows vs Linux distro.
The problem is that very often what you get at this abbey is not beer yet. You need to complete the brewing vs just opening the bottle and drinking.
