Debuggers run in command line, making them less accessable to the average person, so they need to learn the commands to get it running.
Same is true for Windows.
Frankly you cannot get around the command line when developing.
Most Windows debuggers have a GUI, including Microsoft's own offerings, and even 3rd party ones (I use RemedyBG) have one.
Fair, but for those there presumably is a CLI as well? And conversely, what is stopping you from using a GUI debugger onLinux?
I was more thinking along the lines: you'd be hardpressed to find a debugger that does not have a CLI
