As a maintainer of some of those "GUI gadgets"(*) I'd really like to
know what problems you have with them. It's not as if they were
faultless, but if there's something -- bugs or missing functionality --
which disturbs you, say what it is (and please put them into Bugzilla).
Badmouthing these tools in general ain't gonna help.

(*): system-config-date, system-config-nfs, system-config-samba,
system-config-services, system-config-users
