I second that. The GUI just lets you click on whatever, and then it goes to 
the background and executes appropriate command with appropriate switches. 
If, for whatever reason, this background command fails, the user is not 
informed about it.

I had an issue with firefox several times (for example), where picking it from 
the menus just did nothing. No error, no notification, no firefox. And only 
after starting it from the terminal I actually found out why...

GUI is user-friendlier only for the things that cannot fail, else it just adds 
to confusion. ;-)

Best, :-)
