A command-line configure is always important. Often, things are run as
batch jobs, with no user intervention, not even for the setup. (This
is often to exercise from-scratch builds.)

I realize that this wasn't the thrust of this thread, but wanted to
quash this meme before it escapes.

Of course, this is not to say that a GUI is not important.
