Why are distro communities turning linux more and more into Windows and Mac OS clones?

This is why I use Arch.

Oh, I have. Now imagine giving those people a command line.

At least there's only a single way to tell the computer "ok, execute this command". And you see the command written in plain text before you.

And, no, no useful interface is intuitive because computers just have too many functions. There's no intuitive appliance in the world with more than a temperature knob and a timer knob. Knowledge is always required, be that cultural or by RTFM.
