My experience is almost the complete opposite. The first time I touched the commandline was to apt-get packages in linux. Doing this invovled me learning nothing more than apt-get install, and apt-cache search.

I slowly accumulate knowledge of how to use other programs as I needed to use them (the same way I learn how to use gui programs.) The only conceptual block for me with the command-line was the concept of piping the output of one command into another.
