I have two reasons someone (not me, but somebody) would prefer to start up in a GUI: 1) Some members of my family consider it an immense challenge to have to remember to input their username and password at the console, recognize that they're logged in (as opposed to have fatfingered their password and need to try again), and then type "startx". 2) Some people can't be trusted to type the command like this: startx;exit so that the a badguy who terminates the GUI doesn't have access to their command prompt (although they could just access xterm within X anyway). Personally, I always boot to CLI and startx to GUI.
