There is a maximum amount of delight children are capable of achieving, and it really doesn't take a great deal to get them there. It isn't related much to the fanciness of the toys. If there was a measurable increase in the delight provoked by a CLI and a GUI, then logically any computer should cause them to drop down dead with excitement as compared to the toys of 100 years ago. As someone else said, it's time spent with happy parents that they're really into.
