Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work that went into Calibre, and I fully understand why past design decisions might make getting the GUI to work with a running instance of the server, the way the command-line apps do, more work than is justified.

And I'm fine with shutting down the server when I run the GUI and starting it up again when I am done. As Kovid said, it's something that can be scripted and made automatic.

What I don't understand are these assertions that the GUI can be run in place of the server.

It simply can't.
Have you considered hosting it on a cheap VPS rather than your home machine?
