I want to emphisise this. rsyslog is a system-level tool, on servers and embedded systems you may not have all the things that you would want for a fancy config editor tool (and or the system may be broken so they don't work and you need to get logging working so that you can find what's wrong with the system) this needs to remain something that can be edited manually with simple text editors.
