Agreed, having a good user experience should be a high priority and having some way to configure a broker and monitor a broker at runtime that is user friendly is ideal. If the web console can rely on something like a REST service and JMX for data then it will also allow other tools to be built to help with management. Besides a web console I also find a command line interface based console to be really useful. Being able to quickly run commands from a shell to do things such as make configuration changes or view metrics is useful because it is fast and can be easily scripted.
