Text interfaces: streams of discrete objects (characters) with some having special purposes
GUI: A matrix of pixels + a set of of rectangles with special properties attached.
If you want to quickly write a program, text is the way to go. Most developers are scratching their own itch and already know the system. They may surface a few GUI settings (if it's GUI), but no one wants to build a complete GUI ecosystem on top of Linux (unless you go fo a restricted version like ChromeOS or Android).
And with scripts, you can quickly write your own software by using existing ones. It can be your very special computing world.
