Reality Check
Routers will also become much easier to use than the "command Line" type interface that CISCO and others are using.
(There was a reason that Windows 3.1 became popular...A "typo" should not be able to bring a computer (or network) down).
Check out a $120. Linksys router if you want to see the future of router configuration.
(But don't study this)

There is no way you can compare a $100 linksys router, with a cisco enterprise router. The cli that IOS uses is appropriate for the audience to which it is intended. It is assumed that you will have a measure of expertise to configure/maintain a cisco router, and the people who use these things on a regular basis appreciate the speed in which the cli allows this work to be done.
