The main reason Terminals suck is the lack of any guides.
Imagine a CLI interface without commands, just selecting. That would still work everywhere and be easy to maintain, but it would be easy to use.
Or just having cheatsheets available
cheat(){ curl cheat.sh/$1 }
That makes Terminals useful for everyone

Those exist already

-help
is the quick sheet,man
is the extensive guide6 0 ReplyCheatsheets are community maintained examples of common usage. Manpages are way too complex, help is not always available or useful but good
