Call me old fashioned but I'd rather not manage things with a GUI. The GUI has some nice quick snapshot types of things that are useful but when the chips are down a GUI will let you down, Windows of any variant is a perfect example of this. It's much more robust to have a system, database etc. where you can get in and check all the bolts for fit and function.
