Are you suggesting that a UI where you see all configuration variables immediately, and can tweak them, is a good idea?
Do I sense some sarcasm? :)
There was none intended -- I actually wanted to know the answer to that question. In part, because you specifically mentioned the gui as good thing, so I want to find out *what* is attractive exactly.
There's of course hidden agenda somewhere there, but it does not affect genuinity of the question.
Oh, then yes, I am unequivocally saying that is a good thing, especially when the GUI runs on all major platforms and has fairly intuitive command-line alternatives to fall back on. Just as in programming, having a good interface prevents confusion and misuse. A GUI has the ability to make it immediately clear which variables are available and which values are valid for each variable. Doing that without a GUI usually requires reading through separate textual documentation and piecing together the information you need.
