Couldn't agree more. For profiling non-trivial programs (web browsers etc), GUI like Kcachgrind is a necessity. It helps also in comparing callgraphs from different use-cases. You want to understand bottlenecks in different use-cases and whether those bottlenecks are caused by same things. (optimizations are often compromises and you don't want to make a compromise you need to fix/revert later.)
