On that argument mySQL which was the comparison point doesn't have a GUI
either. mySQL workbench does run in a native GUI environment, but it talks
to a middle tier as well (the backend). To be honest I don't buy the
argument anyway. HTML interfaces are generally GUI interfaces in my book
(they are a user interface which is graphical rather than a command line
that parses command line parameters) about the only HTML interfaces that I'd
regard as GUI are the search engines.
