So gleg is neither a CLI nor a GUI program, nor even an English word? That makes it about as off-topic as it is possible to get.
I think you've been spending too much time hanging around with your fishy mate

It is an English word, albeit regional, you just need to be
enlightened by someone more knowledgable - MOI! ;oD

Always the conundrum with linux... when you know deep down that a graphical interface for a CLI command is just taking up space and memory and you can't get over how wasteful it seems.
It's the same story with those impractical wobbly windows that tantalize me so... |

I'm in a bit of a 'High Ho Silver' mood at present:
====================================
I usually get the feeling that the gui writer is just flowing with what ever 'tool' their using to write up the gui. Except in the case of some distros where i get the feeling that there is an orchestrated attempt to bind the user to a way of doing things rather than actually providing a learning vector.
It all does get back to the user themselves really. While the graphical tool will provide an immediate means to an end, there shouldn't be much really, to stop the user from getting behind it. For instance - reading up on man/info and other docs, experimenting etc ...
Good_grief :- the whole idea of some sort of competition between the two is a detrimental approach to start with. Both ends of that string need to join, allowing a person to grab hold of it at any particular point and get a result.
Of course, distros that have cmd guies that take it on to themselves to over-ride a persons _choices_ really do need to be <cough> discouraged </cough>
imo
