It has the most generic of user interfaces. On Windows, a command line interface is the most out-of-place thing anybody could ask for. 19/20 kids these days wouldn't even know what a command line interface is until you show them. The first thing that they would look for is a GUI tool in the Python X.Y programs menu... So I respectfully say that there couldn't be anything less true than the assertion that a GUI package manager is inconsistent within a modern GUI desktop environment.
