how exactly is a GUI bad? All computer platforms using GUIs. The 
connection to
to Opensim is a GUI (i.e., the viewer whether rex or LLviewer). Unix 
platforms
such as Ubuntu offer GUIs for most configs.

Why? This simply places a burden on the user to have to remember which file
to edit for which particular functionality desired. It complicates 
everything.
