There have been many users on the forum who have noted that they never use the terminal. It is possible to do so.
However, it is not advisable. Certainly, you do not suggest doing away with the terminal.
I understand... all too well, how suggesting an improvement in an area can lead to responses suggesting you hate that area. Your clarity is noteworthy. 
I would like you to please consider the following:
When something is made easier for people, there may be an upper limit as to how easy you can make it. Eventually, you reach that limit.
If you make it so easy that they are left stranded and hopeless when something goes wrong, then you have actually failed them.
Being easy must be balanced against being effective. Making something more and more easy until it is too easy makes it less and less effective.
Windows users are already conditioned to this.
I believe that our best purpose is in helping them to undo that conditioning, rather than to further it.
To this end, we have provided a great deal of help for the terminal on this forum:
I remember that my own reaction was one of fear and trepidation of the terminal, as well.
Yet, I am now one of its strongest advocates.
It may be better to have things easy, but not too easy. Enough pressure to push a person into expanding their horizons and enjoying their accomplishments.
