Very true. For instance, I frequently have Windoze users unintentionally move their mice and then files would go missing. The GUI can be a double-edge sword, but I suppose the benefits it brings more than outweigh the costs.

Point taken
However I feel like I have to point out that there are drawbacks to a GUI interface, sometimes it can be ~~too~~ easy to do something unintended. I'll give you an example:
Contrast MySQL, command line, with MSSQL, GUI
I had a friend who decided to rename a table in MSSQL. So he right clicked on the table name, and went down to rename on the context menu. His fingers glitched, and he clicked on the item above rename which happened to be delete, table was gone. Had he not had a backup, it would have been ugly.
Had he been working in MySQL from the command like, I do not think he would have made the same mistake. Its hard to type DROP TABLE, when you mean RENAME TABLE.
Food for thought
