I don't remember the last time I used either, and I build Linux kernels
every couple of days.

   vi .config
   <delete sections I want to reconfig>
   make oldconfig

I don't know a single kernel guy who uses the graphical interfaces.  And
like Zeev said, we used to have this fancy configuration tool.  It even
had a web interface for a while where you could go and click on checkboxes
and it would generate your configuration.  It was actually pretty good,
but nobody cared.  I am not sure why people would suddenly want to use
something like this now.
