Strong Disagree, the GUI equivalent of chown is a bizarrely long series of clicks that less knowledgeable users will easily get confused doing.

You described it as pebkac - it isn't - it's an OS design issue.

If you read the thread they got an answer to their question, then OP posts this rant here like its a classic "windows is stupid" thing, while simply a user tries to do something which is too complex for them, and blames their lack of knowledge on the os.
