While many Solr users may not know Java or Lucene, they most likely
will have a familiarity with XML (or at least enough HTML that the XML
doesn't look foreign)....
How would one feed documents into Solr without knowing XML?
I think this is a non-issue, people have to generate XML documents to
index them with Solr anyway, so editing an XML configuration file is
not that bad.

I agree that this is more serious, making critical exceptions or logs
accessible from the HTTP interface could be good...but it can also be
a security risk in some cases, you don't necessarily want to expose
all error messages to the world.
IMHO: for any serious use of Solr, people need some server management
skills. It might be better for people who don't have these to fail
early, rather than wrongly think that they can use Solr in point and
click mode.
