Hasn't been my experience at all, but also why would you do that? The CLI has an awful confusing UX and also doesn't easily show you the state of things.
If you're trying to teach a child how filesystems work, do you open a terminal and teach them `ls` and `cd`? No of course not. You use some kind of GUI file manager with a tree view.
