Hi,

Very true when I first migrated from Window Vista, the command line 
actually scared me ;¬) but after a short time (3 months or so) of using 
Ubuntu (and trying other distros) I came to realise the power of the 
command line and it stopped scaring me (although I still double check my 
"sudo" commands!)

Like you say it would be very hard to recommend to newbies unless they 
are using Xubuntu or Lubuntu (or of course Mint) Dropbox would be my 
second choice, not so much storage but does play better with the GUI.

As with most things on Ubuntu (and Linux in general) the choice is 
yours, go with what makes you feel good ;¬)
