I can understand how programmers can find the web interface nifty. I
think you do, IIRC. 

But, for my part, as a user, I think it can be a pain. I'm not an UI
expert, mind you. A UI expert would tell you what's good and what's not
so good about the web UI. I'll try to be more precise. 

Well, I guess it depends on the function of the web interface. 
My router, for example, also has one. Its sole function is to change
this or that setting. And I have no complaints on that level. It does
its job.

But the function of the Slimserver web interface isn't simply to change
settings. Fo example, your supposed to be able to make playlists with
it. And, like jonheal pointed out earlier, its subpar:

And, in that function, I expect it to work at least as well as other
media players out there. Those little up and down arrows are a pain to
use.
