My philosophy is to not to use a GUI configuration tool if it is not
a part of the software package it is supposed to configure. I might
evaluate a GUI tool if it is focussed on one software product, but not
if it is a general purpose tool.

This is because a tool distributed along with the software in question
would be tested with the very same version of the software that I have
in production. A third party tool might be developed on one version of
the software, and you might be running another version.

Therefore I use swat to configure samba, courier-webadmin to configure
my courier MTA, even neat to configure netsaint, but will never touch
linuxconf or webadmin.
