But broken by the addition of a New! Shiny! GUI which makes the whole
machine run like a stunned slug in molasses.

Yes, I know I can run it in text-only mode, but AFAIK I can't completely
replace Aqua/Quartz with X.  And even if I could I wouldn't want to cos
I would then lose what few commercial apps I *can* run.  My Mac is not
something I treat as a computer.  It's an appliance.  It's great that
my appliance runs a Unix-a-like cos there will be more apps available,
but it sucks that it has to be such a half-arsed botch-job.
