*A console* on a server becomes useful if the
server needs to be
fixed. That console being a bit-mapped framebuffer with megabytes of
software required to support it adds huge amounts of complexity to a
debugging situation. Bad idea. This is why the very beefiest of
servers still have very simple serial consoles.
I agree with you, there. Unless I know that I'm going to need some
GUI interfaced program, I generally install *nix without X.
