Let me see. GUI stands for "graphic user interface" which does not mean pictures and it doesn NOT mean slow and cumbersome ... and when I used my first X windows (late 80's DEC station) I moved away from the shell only thing FAST ... especially if you need to look after a number of apache servers, all in differnt places/cities/countries and want to compare their httpd.conf's.
