This has been discussed, numerous times. Most folks hate the ISC, including myself. I and two other "engineers" spent hours just trying to figure out how to add an admin-level ISC id. We gave up. If we can't figure it out, how on earth would our operations folks figure it out, when they had issues with something as simple as the web-interface. It would have taken way too many hours/days (which I don't have) for us systems-level folks to learn it, much less teach our computer operators about it. With the old web-interface, I could walk folks through most operations, in my head, over the phone.
As you have discovered, it is not intuitively obvious/easy to use. There may be some nuggets of improvement, but the high learning curve isn't worth it, IMHO ! Also, the lack of responsiveness is another issue (try using it over dial-up). As an alternative, we went with TSMManager (www.tsmmanager.com) for it's simplicity, ease-of-use and fairly low cost. Now, we can't live without it. I start it up, first thing in the morning, and stay in it all day long. (standard disclaimer) I do not work for TSMManager. Just a happy customer.

Is there anyone else out there that loves or hates the new software and can point me to why I should like it better than the old web interface? I feel like I have to have the command line interface open no matter what where as before I could do without a second window. Is there something I'm missing?
