I don't like using them so much as I've gotten older, but they are simpler to build, more fun to build, the design options aren't as open-ended, and the tooling is pretty good and crossplatform.

The idiosyncrasy of a GUI in your terminal is also part of its charm, especially in how it looks.

I think it's similar to the appeal of making a webapp in a fun tech like Elm except it has access to the filesystem and can do whatever it wants, so it's also less limiting.
