The problem comes when you have a problem and your GUI won't load. If you
are not comfortable with the command line, you may very well be stuck with
a complete re-install to fix something that is often pretty simple.
For instance, if something screws up X, you can simply run the X
Configurator from a command line. If you are a GUI only guy, you are
stuck, and you rebuild. My system is back up in 5 minutes, exactly as
before. Yours is down for a couple of hours, and then you get to
reinstall all of your apps and restore your data...
For most people, the GUI is fine. But for someone wanting to learn Linux,
the command line is a must.
