Being productive is important.
There are many novice users who believe the GUI makes them more productive, and many experienced users who think the command line is more productive for them. Since, no one is forced to use the GUI, I don't see how adding a GUI to octave is relevant to those who don't plan to use it. But adding a GUI is obviously relevant to those who prefer to use a GUI. Personally, I prefer the command line, but am encouraged by the attention the GUI is getting. In particular it is good to see new contributors join in the development of Octave.
