In my humble experience, I think there are 2 distinct aspects to this issue.

I use FBSD both as desktop and as server. In practice, I need a GUI for 
desktop work and none whatsoever for server work. 

The only time I needed some kind of GUI component on a server was when I 
wanted to test a VM on it and I wanted the comodity of running VirtualBox 
console on my desktop. Other than that, the command line is more than enough.

OTOH, for the kind of work that I do, having 4 workspaces is absolutely handy. 
And to be able to switch between these 4 scenarios with the scroll of a middle 
button is definetly a plus.

just my 0,02 cents.
