It has the most generic of user interfaces.

On Windows, a command line interface is the most out-of-place thing
anybody could ask for.

19/20 kids these days wouldn't even know what a command line interface
is until you show them.

The first thing that they would look for is a GUI tool in the Python X.Y
programs menu...

So I respectfully say that there couldn't be anything less true than
the assertion that a GUI package manager is inconsistent within a
modern GUI desktop environment.
