This is a false dichotomy.
If you like what you can do with a computer, then you like computers, even if there are aspects of computing you do not like. No one expects a person to like absolutely everything about computing, or to never get frustrated with it. (In fact, I would argue a certain amount of frustration can result in a rewarding experience.)
Conversely, no one likes computers in some sort of abstract sense apart from what you can do with computers. If computers didn't produce any output no one would be interested in them in the slightest.
What this man is basically saying is he prefers GUI as an interface but he's willing to use command line interfaces if that's the only option. Which is not very interesting.
