From: Tony Williams 

Using a GUI often feels to me like the radio on the "Heart of
Gold" in the Hitchhiker's Guide. You wave your hands around vaguely in
the hope that it'll figure out what you mean, when it would be much simpler
and faster to just tune it in with a dial.

Hiding what's really happening behind layers of wizards (ugh) and GUI
controls isn't always a good thing.
