A lot of people like eye candy.. :-) My grandparents won't understand how  
to work in console, so I will wanting them to use GDM for not have them to  
call to me everyday or even hour. :-P

I personal don't like GDM because of lacking feature to bring me to  
console. I had to go to another tty. I have started to use GDM ever since  
when GNOME depends on GDM more like for shutdown, restart and etc that  
provide GNOME desktop functions better.

I don't really have any problem with GDM other than GDM always like to  
ignore my setup like locale for example.
