A common problem with linux gui tools is that they are often really

gui, and if he does he'll find it simpler to just use the cli tool
directly.
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.
There are, of course, many good guis for which the above doesn't hold.

Aye.  I wish there were more...  :@)
