In many ways the Raspberry Pi is a return to the spirit of those times, a step away from the pre-packaged, insulated consumer experience of computers that discourages experimentation and learning. I think you'll find that many people assume that if you're interested in it, you're also willing to "look behind the curtain" to some degree.
There is also power available to the command-line user that GUI interfaces cannot hope to match. The entire exercise of user-interface development is one of restricting choices.
