Need? I suppose that’s not really absolutely true. A GUI is a tool to allow 
things to be done quicker. It can be used to avoid learning things, but, that’s 
not the concern necessarily. Keeps a nice history, pre-defined and friendly 
queries, nice monitoring on multiple systems, I could go on. I see it as 
similar to saying who needs Windows (which I don’t use but same idea) as 
opposed to dos. Not entirely of course, but, the idea is to make one more 
productive. Command line vs GUI. I like how it categorizes system status, 
variables, tracks client connections, connects to numerous machines using ssh 
tunnels, etc. I can do most of that without workbench, just slower. It allows 
me to use my clients machines GUi for organization and filing and archiving of 
scripts in a faster manner. I connect to so many machines I just find it’s 
organization useful. But YMMV.

there don't exist much where you are really faster with a GUI except you don't know how to handle things - what worries me more is a database server which is even open over TCP to the network
