“I am not entirely against GUI admin tools in general, however,
I think there is a basic discrepancy between the way WinDOS users
and *nix users are able to handle things, which leads to some
annoying misunderstandings between the two.”

also having spent some time with the Macintosh and the Amiga, I
found that the different styles of handling things have their own
dynamics leading to very disparate expectations of users in regard
to system administration.”
