I'm actually looking forward to getting past the basics, i.e. the apps. The apps are what make Linux easy if someone just wants a basic computer. If I weren't a curious person or want to figure how to do things, I would be fine with my distro as-is. Most people would be.
But I don't want to have to find and down an app every time I want to do something different only to find that the app doesn't do what I need or doesn't do all of what I want it to do. And keyboard short cuts are a lot faster than opening a drop down menu, selecting by clicking, select again, and again... Before I can do that though, I have to remember which menu I found the command in. If I can just open the terminal and type something in, the most I'll have to do is scan my notes for the one I need if I don't remember...
It's like learning AutoCad. If you use it much, learn the short cuts. They save an incredible amount of time. That's the way I see it anyway.
