I'll have to agree with this, sometimes going thru a bunch of menus to do 
something as simple as adding an iptables rule or changing a username is a 
hassle.  Then again the menuing system does help those in which the CLI 
would be unintuitive or intimidating.  Personally I dig CLI, unless it's 
been hours without sleep then I may use the GUI just for the 'warm and 
fuzzy' feeling.
