No one's suggesting that you run as root, that you have your window manager in the kernel, or have a daemon running for every entry in<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/services running when you boot up. But a good useable GUI is a real blessing for the end user, and it can be done without wrecking the other advantages of the machine.
GUI's have come a very long way, and I'm going to disagree with another poster when I state that IMHO, KDE's one is pretty good. The options are there, but so are the wizards for ordinary users. The only thing they need to improve on is the 'Administrator mode' stuff, which isn't intuitive at all. They should just ask for the root password when something need's it, not add a completly new mode. Not to rant though, I understand why they did it.
