I think you missed the point here:
the idea is to decouple the code handling the logic, from the code drawing
things on the screen, this creates a more flexible (and thus better)
program structure with several advantages:
- those developing can concentrate on either the gui or the logic at one
time, making development easier, and thus likely faster
- gui-development and logic-development can be done by different persons,
without them having to learn the ins-and-outs of both
- make it easy to switch from webmin to something else (wether webbased or
not) _if_ we ever need to for whatever reason
- makes it possible to develop several frontends (webmin/kde/...
(note: I don't read the above as anyone planning to competly drop the
web-interface)
