GUI have a lot of value in helping the end user understanding a complex task/design and avoiding having to learn and remember something like VI commands. However, they also get very frustrating for power users that now have been over complexity. Some professional applications provide a GUI but are able to generate a script to accomplish the same command sequence without clicking over and over. This is not that bad and is a good way to learn.
Moreover, osgdem has a lot of features and the underneath DataSet class even more. I hope you will find a nice way to wrap this!
