Hmmm I'm not really opposed to the current GNU/Linux CLI. I like it a
lot and use it a lot. I do use zsh as my shell though so I guess I avoid
a lot of pain. Not only it completes commands it also completes their
parameters.

I've been in the GNU/Linux world for hmm... 11 or so years now. Before
that only a year or two on dos/win3.11|win95. But I've always liked
using the command line.

I'll need to lookup that user-friendly command line interface as well.
But have you tried using fish(friendly interactive shell)? From what
I've heard it's supposed to be very user friendly.

Regards

P.S. wrt to keybindings would love a way to define my own in alpine as
well... should probably file a feature request for that.
