Certainly it can be improved upon, and I'm pretty sure even GUI haters must know that. We're just waiting for that to happen, and maybe trying to think how to make it happen.
The big schism comes because there are "GUI people" who think it's the total answer to everything, if only we can make better widgets or something. I don't hesitate to tell such people they're missing something.

If I could create great software by staring into a flashing light whilst waving my arms around and humming, I'd be all for it - but we have a ways to go yet.
