"GUI operations are essentially impossible to script. With large numbers of 
servers, it is impractical to use the GUI to carry out installation tasks or 
regular maintenance tasks. ... Text-based operations are more versatile; an 
administrator can usually do more to a system (good and bad) than is provided 
by the restricted, planned methods using the GUI."
