But now it’s too long for a power user. I would say terminal should be focused for power users and your average user shouldn’t have to touch it in the first place if things just works. All they do is just use their browser and a couple apps, most users don’t even know what power shell is in windows.
Just to make it clear, I don’t mind terminal myself. I use nixos on unstable branch myself but it will never be mass adopted with this attitude (not yours but the original comment).
I am well aware, my point is remove-file and that long ass don’t ask for confirmation or whatever is way too long to be usable. If you want to simplify it, at least it should be remove and --force.
To be fair, that is an issue with the implementation of the given commands, rather than the concept of the command line.
You could create a program that operates like so:
remove-file --dont-ask-for-confirmation house.pngBut now it’s too long for a power user.

Short and Long options are a thing.
Ex: GNU rm can use
--recursive-ror
