Some of us run servers :-)I've been running headless Debian servers for years, never used anything but a command line to manage them.
I guess I could run X-Windows remotely, but never really saw a need to - ssh to a command prompt is just fine.
Now, if I used Debian for my desktop environment, that might be a different story, but I got sucked into Macs a long time ago.
