Maybe you should learn some manners and stop posting wild assumptions about physique of your peers.

It's barely a summary. A summary requires some details about the points being raised; albeit a briefly phrased. That site was more akin to a bullet-pointed list.
The descriptions are lacklustre, the screenshots are useless for all bar the ncurses programs, and including "just too useful to miss" programs like vi and curl but with zero detail nor examples about how to use them is absolutely worthless. Anyone who's every used a Linux / UNIX command line -even briefly- would already know that vi and curl exists - what they might not know is how to use it. And that's where articles like this should focus if they're wanting to incorporate commonly known commands along with obscure ones. Otherwise you're trying to appeal to everyone yet failing to please anyone.
