Absolutely. Windoze has GUI programs for all sorts of functions which will allow you to brick your computer. The advantage of them is that they will warn you that you probably don't want to do certain things, they will provide help functions to explain what can and should be done, the will edit input to help avoid fat finger syndrome, and the better ones will allow you to preview or review and undo changes.

After all, you can do things like word processing without a GUI. But would you want to?
