GUIs are rarely more efficient or faster than a CLI. But man is mostly a visual critter, so a GUI is an easier tool with which to guide those who won't RTFM.

I can second that statement that man is mostly a visual critter. We tend to forget that the GUI was designed after people at Xerox PARC studied the way young children learn. Having taught high school for 30+ years, I can tell you that the vast majority of my students (and my colleagues) would never look twice at a computer, much less use one, if it were still a command line device.
