I see it as a kind of trade-off. Good GUI apps do make it much easier for commands to be discoverable to new users of that application. What they sacrifice is generally smooth and rapid keyboard control and more sophisticated composable commands. To make use of that, you pretty much have to be a power user and spend a lot of time drilling keyboard commands and how they can chain together into your head. Once you do that though, you can do a ton of advanced things really fast while hardly even thinking about it.
