Actually, Red Carpet does have a CLI now. If you've already moved up to
version 2, it's probably installed - do a "man rc" for more info. If it's
not installed, add the Red Carpet channel and install rc and rcd.
But I do agree, there many are tasks for which a GUI is better suited. I'd
much rather download software using Galeon or gFTP than Lynx or a CLI ftp
client, and it's nice to have GKrellm running so you can monitor
connections, CPU, memory, etc.
