The GUI verses command line arguments are as old as time itself, or close to it. What constitutes a great desktop experience is a matter of taste, whatever works for you may not work for someone else. Not one desktop or GUI will fit everyone; use whats best for you and live your own computer life.
OpenBSD has a massive amount of tools to make any kind of desktop you wish, that's why it is awesome.
