I don't agree with any of the bullet point above.

We use Ubuntu on this site and I have never seen a graphical interface. Therefore, nothing is shielded and there is nothing "softening the difference between root and normal users".

Just because an OS distribution might have a nice GUI does not mean you are forced to use it. I have used Ubuntu Linux for a number of years and never use a GUI.
