> But now I realize that modern developers don't want a GUI to manage their config. I think, like almost all software, it depends on personality and other factors like how frequently someone has worked with a language/tool/etc. If someone has the traditional Unix "read all the man pages in their entirety" kind of brain, they'll probably never use a GUI. If someone has more of a "learn by example, then refer to the docs to cover cases the examples didn't handle" brain, a GUI can be a much easier way to clearly expose all the potential functionality of a tool. It's much easier to understand (IMO) than e.g. a template configuration file with every possible option present but commented out.
