No, installing via dpkg -i is effectively a "debug" route and should be avoided unless absolutely essential. The gist I get is that red mode led some people to think that installing .deb files directly was somehow normal.

Of course, no one can stop anyone else from creating such a GUI, but don't expect anyone to support software you install via that method.
