"If you need a GUI you're not comfortable playing with wget from the command line and/or spending time reading the wget documentation. But you're advanced enough to know it is possible to download whole websites (!)"
I disagree. Sure, I could run wGet from the command line, but then I have to either know what various switches/options are available and what kind of input it's expecting or consult the help parameter/man page. Maybe it's a tool I only use every once in a while.
The GUI puts all those options in front of me at once, with the ability to select them right next to the description of what they are, and the "ugly" GUI doesn't require me to navigate to sub-forms to discover/change other options available to me.
...but then, I'm a programmer, so what do I know?
