    I agree with you, but I've had this conversation before. What it came
    down to previously, is that some people just get spooked when faced with
    'source code' and would rather just use a package manager that will take
    care of the 'spooky stuff' for them.

    It's unfortunate (in my view) because there's a lot of power to be had
    at a command prompt. It's not for everyone though.

    Some people have differently sized comfort zones and the more you try to
    push them to explore before they're ready, the harder they fight back.
