Graphical interfaces provides you with visual information while you do something.

If you don't know how to do something, having a graphical interface makes it easier to solve the problem without reading the documentation.

When you don't know what you are doing, a graphical interface is really nice to have.

The rest of the time, a command line is fine, often I would prefer to script things like if you click on the same things over and over again.

Its not as bad now as it was I'll admit, but its still pretty funny that a fair few games ship with copys of common libraries, denying the very purpose of a dynamic linking in the first place
