I agree 100% Jason ! I think that even for newbies, GUI has not to be
necessarily simple. Advanced options may be optionnaly displayed with a button,
but making these powerful options accessible to everyone is important. Suse rpm
manager is complex, but nicely done (colour codes, for example). If a GUI is
logical and well designed, it may be full of options.
