I use Xfce4 for my "main" desktop box. It's very "Gui-ish", and my one issue with it is that there is little support for keyboard shortcuts. If, for some reason, your mouse dies, as one of mine did recently, there's hardly any way to gracefully manipulate Xfce.
Fluxbox is also very nice, and my preferred GUI for lightweight machines.

I was wondering if it is possible to run a GUI window (say Firefox) without actually showing up the window on the desktop but still make it do its own regular stuff (like maybe do something via the command line). Sorry if its a dumb question.

screenblank
SCREENBLANK(1) BSD General Commands Manual SCREENBLANK(1)
NAME
screenblank -- screen saver daemon for wscons and FBIO machines
SYNOPSIS
screenblank [-k | -m] [-d inactivity-timeout] [-e wakeup-delay] [-f framebuffer] [-i input-device]
screenblank {-b | -u}
DESCRIPTION
screenblank disables the framebuffer if the keyboard and mouse are idle for a period of time, and re-enables the framebuffer when keyboard or
mouse activity resumes.
When killed with a SIGINT, SIGHUP, or SIGTERM, screenblank will re-enable the framebuffer. The pid can be found in the file
/var/run/screenblank.pid.
The options are as follows:
-b Overriding the other options, simply try (once) to blank the framebuffer, then exit.
-d inactivity-timeout
Wait the number of seconds specified by inactivity-timeout, expressed in the format ``xxx.xxx'', before disabling the framebuffer due
to inactivity. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
-e wakeup-delay
Wait the number of seconds specified by wakeup-delay, expressed in the format ``xxx.xxx'', before re-enabling the framebuffer once
activity resumes. The default is .25 seconds.
-f framebuffer
Use the framebuffer device framebuffer instead of the default /dev/fb.
-i input-device
Add input-device to the list of devices to monitor for activity.
-k Do not check the keyboard for activity.
-m Do not check the mouse for activity.
-u Overriding the other options, simply try (once) to unblank the framebuffer, then exit.
Note that the -k and -m flags are mutually exclusive.
FILES
/dev/kbd The keyboard device.
/dev/mouse The mouse device.
/dev/console The console device.
