Yes, and I don't like GUIs for such basic funcionality. First of all I'm almost always login in through ssh to the server that's running the firewall, so that makes a frontend with text-files much easier to use. Second; seeing all the rules in one page, exactly as they are going to be installed is the only way to make sure the frontend does what I mean, not what a program with fuzzy controls thinks I mean.
