I'm not entirely certain about that. For instance, on Linux I always have to look up how to create symlinks even though I've been using the OS exclusively for three years. On Windows, it is: Right click -> Create shortcut. It's easier for most people to remember a 2 action process than a console command with multiple options and specific syntax. But of course, this is only one example and doesn't apply to everything. For instance, I have absolutely no trouble remembering mkdir, cp, or rm. I think it's a bit of a mixed bag.
