Unless you are not running X, why is that a problem?

Uhm, maybe the times when X is broken? Takes a hell of a lot more to
break the console.

Or maybe people want to run minimalist and not bother with X if they don't
have to?

Or maybe even that the CL tools are better suited for this sort of thing?
I run many X apps, can't stand Synaptic compared to aptitude. It's too slow,
too cumbersome, too unintuitive. Maybe if it were more focused on presenting
information in a decent manner and not require the mouse every .25s that would
change.
