Is there a point of choosing the GUI version of a program instead of the CLI one?

Sometimes. A GUI can give you more information at a glance than a CLI or even ncurses interface. For partition management, for instance, a good GUI can represent volumes graphically and show them to you so instead laughing as you mess up am entire disk because you misread a start sector by one digit.

However, CLIs are usually much more rugged and adaptable if something goes wrong elsewhere in the stack, so if an application only needs to output to the user things that a line of text can show, there's no reason except aesthetics to use a GUI.

More control of your files.
Speed since you don't use your mouse.
