I suppose the only question that asks is whether console users are 
the problem?  Console users tend to be more technically aware
(horrible generalisation I know, but in the main true) and also they 
are capable of writing their own scripts.  Graphical users tend to want
more things done for them, so this facility is going to be of more
use to them.
