A graphical boot sequence, and booting into a graphical user interface, are 
two entirely different things.

I am personally delighted that the graphical boot is finally maturing (and 
waiting for a graphical shutdown to keep it company). Several 
computer-illiterate users have commented to me that watching all that 
cryptic text flying across the screen scares them and has convinced them 
(just from that one little detail) that Linux is for computer-savvy people 
only since it /must/ be difficult to understand all that.
