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
