i think most of those who wants a gui wants it because they think it's very hard to manage a server via site commands etc, and yes it is in the beginning, but when you know how to do it it's actually very (very) good (and easy). and as a bonus d1 doesn't need to worry about a badly made gui that ruins the daemon (im starting to think on raiden ^^), plus d1 can focus on making the daemon itself better instead of making nice layouts on the gui etc..
