I think GUIs built on top of CLI tools are perfectly fine for an operating system that is going to be used by the average user for common tasks, and they're also okay for more complex endeavors like certain hosted services, programming and even enterprise, so long as the users that are targeted don't exceed the "enthusiast to business who wants easy to operate software" category. The moment you cross over to either developer, sysadmin, network admin, etc. even if just as a hobby, then foregoing the abstraction of CLI tools becomes practically a crucial need.
