The control center "User accounts" applets is the successor, but it
doesn't show groups to the user. Ideally, choosing whether users are
Admins or Normal should be enough for everything. If people need to user
groups, they must be able to use the command line, because only these
operations require it anyway (and are only hacks).

users-admin still lives and can be used by admins that would need to set
user groups, but it's not really good for that since e.g. it doesn't
handle LDAP nor mass configuration. We'd need a tool designed
specifically for that...
