My view on things...

GUIs suck for automation. That's the main problem. Us programmers like to do something once and go home.

Text and command line is automation ready.

Going back to the UNIX philosophy: build small tools that work together via standard interfaces (pipes etc). Then strap a UI to it later. Best of both worlds.
