You are right, but this is mostly due to the fact that the webconf
interface does not attract our developers. Maybe the fact that it is
written in shell keeps them away. Even big Cisco and HP routers/switches
have quite powerful web interfaces.

That is what I normally do, because I am quite familiar with the shell.

- The menu entries are partially misleading and not always useful
- I just hate the editor called in the menu, so I prefer to use vi, but
that is a very personal choice.
