It can be useful for (esp. junior) sysadmins who've hooked up a monitor and keyboard to a server and are sitting in front of it to administer it, and who may not be confident enough of their choices without googling and reading through a number of pages on the web (and this list of course -- brownie points please ;). Due to bad web design decisions by others, googling for answers can be more comfortable from a graphical browser than from plain vanilla lynx(1). Of course a point could be made that there is an inverse relationship between the "graphical sophistication" of a website (=lynx-incompatible bad design) and the quality of the site's content. However, sometimes even horribly designed sites host quality content, and being able to read that content can be useful. --ropers
