The Linux Console is a tool, not just an interface. And thanks to the constant improvements and updates it receives, it remains to this day a modern and effective way to do work. And you can even do some graphical stuff in it, like viewing an image:

fim -a image.jpg 

Or even watch a video: (!!!)

mpv -vo drm video.mp4 

"User-friendly" is relative. Learn the interface and you'll gain power.
