Sure, but there's also a precondition for using this: you have to understand that it's actually even possible to automate repetitive tasks on a computer, and have the motivation to do so. Hell, I know programmers who don't do that.
How many people fit that description, but will still find this easier than ifconfig? My guess is few.
That said, I think this is a neat hack.

It's easy to blow this idea off, but the "solve something your users didn't know needed to be solved" advice I occasionally see on HN keeps echoing in my head.
