As others noted, the cessation of GUI development portended the demise
of the GUIs as we knew them, which is a shame. Going to a web-based
GUI was obviously a cost-cutting measure whose goal was to help the
vendor, not the customer. Web browser interaction is clumsy and slow,
and is a poor substitute for a serious administration tool.
What I think would help everyone is if a full-blown admin API were
provided so that customers could tailor interfacing to their own needs,
much as the SQL interface provides flexible look-see into the *SM
database. For that matter, perhaps the SQL interface could be
extended. In any case, the problematic web-based interface just
doesn't cut it.
