In the TUI case though, you can usually tweak that workflow and configure it to match your brand of thinking. It costs a little more per instance up front, but after that year (or whatever time period), you get a much less frustrating experience, and the oddball things your particular workflow requires have been smoothed out - where in the GUI you'd still be frustrated and a bit fumbly or suboptimal, so you continue to pay the penalty for it over time.
It's really about how you amortize the total time put into using the tool.
