Yes, absolutely. My central point is that configuration is most useful if it can be performed apart from the environment being configured. I like the browser suggestion very much for just this reason. So, my complaint with Willie's original point focused on three words only, "gui configuration tool." The problem is simple, if the gui isn't working for the user, no gui tool will help fix it. We need a tool outside the gui environment. PS: This is also an opportunity for our f/oss environment to provide greater accessibility than people have come to expect on platforms like Windows and Macintosh. I believe those two environments rely on "gui configuration tools," so I am not surprised people would talk about wanting "gui configuration tools." But, it's the wrong approach.
