Another strength, potentially large but all-too-frequently
overlooked entirely, is as a learning aid.  In the situation
that operations in the GUI map reasonably well to TUI commands
-- which by definition includes cases in which the GUI is used
as a front-end to issue commands to an external TUI-based program
-- the GUI really should have a mode wherein it displays or logs
the TUI commands that it is performing.
