Evidently, that's for people which grew up in the GUI-era, which of course for us older people doesn't add any really useful functionality, but will provide extra headaches. However, I've seen Oracle bashed for it's clumsy interface, without 'nice icons'.
It looks like the GUI-dudes are taking over Oracle just as they dominate Microsoft.
