Write a bash script to manage your cron and you can do the same thing in a terminal. Use http://freecode.com/projects/zenity http://freecode.com/projects/zenity or something similar for your new awesome GUI tool. I think for most people cron is simple enough to just google when they need the syntax. Although this crontab.guru site is 1000 time nicer than most google searches for help. I don't think a database would offer anything unless it was managing 1000's of cron servers. Flat text is fine and easier to parse than querying a database and adding a dependency. A database is a huge requirement to ask for to manage a few simple files.
