I disagree with this assertion. For example, I believe that the CLI is
too often used as a crutch (cop-out) for not being able to provide a
real UI.
Xcode is a *perfect* example of this, especially with many common
settings that should have a real UI associated with them (like search
paths, link options). The failing is in Xcode, not the user
(developer).
CW didn't require you to deal with the command line options for most
projects. Does that make a CW user any less of a "power-user" than an
Xcode user? I don't believe so.
IDEs are supposed to make a developer's job easier. I've had my share
of makefile-base projects in the past and they are a pain. I'm sure
there are others that disagree, but then why bother with the Mac at
all if you want to stay with a command line.
I've seen this type of argument come up again and again in the
developer community. It reminds me of the old days when CLI guys
always talking about WIMP users.
