Sorry, but I can't agree with your assertion that input from system 
administrators has been "largely ignored."  On the contrary, a great 
number of decisions have been the result of years of input, feedback, 
and other considerations.

I'm aware of your feelings about "making the old tools better"; but 
quite frankly, I think most developers will tell you that just isn't a 
practical option.
