Hmm, now that I think about it, I want to say a GUI provides a (potentially false) sense of security.

At the very least, it gives an intuitive sense of direction, so that you can use a program with very little understanding of it. Things like Handbrake over ffmpeg I'd prefer over having to look up how to do 2-pass conversions online every time I want to make one.
