If your system doesn't have windowing system, probably you will be limited to console. You might be working from remote or you are an admin. But if end user is a consumer who is interested to see at-least a minimal GUI, you have to provide windowing system. X windowing system is one of the common windowing system used these days. X works on client server structure. Where server is installed in the system you are interested to interact and client could be anywhere, either local to the system or connected through network. A project developed with really a well thought.
If you have installed server in your system, it is up to the client how to mange the layout. Server just provides the service for windowing and how to put it in screen, this is clients responsibility and interest. Each window on screen is a client of X.
