True. But in a GUI, you can separate options into functional groups, have a help button which can explain those options, access to the documentation (if any such exists in English, rather than Advanced Technicalese) and so on.A common problem with linux gui tools is that they are often really just simple front ends to the cli tools, and they often aren't really easier to use than them; if the user doesn't have a pretty good understanding of the underlying cli tool he'll be stuck even in the gui, and if he does he'll find it simpler to just use the cli tool directly.
There are, of course, many good guis for which the above doesn't hold. Celejar
