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

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. You can
do that by ssh's into all of the machine using 4 xterms side by side.

You can't do that without a, what you call slow and cumbersome, GUI.
You could do that with a GNU screen session split into 4 sections, all from the console without any GUI.
