In theory GUIs can be a good thing.
In practice, they suck. It's painful to watch people who use
GUIs struggling with interminable menus, file choosers and modal
dialog boxes to do simple things that can be done in a few keystrokes
in a CLI.
You are overgeneralizing here.
To make GUIs work, Unix would have to give up on
human-comprehensible configuration files. (Yes, that means XML.)
Many of them have indeed adopted XML but this is not the one true path
by any means.
