Be nice to tne newbs! Showing them a well written tool, especially a configuration interface, that they can follow the workflow of is priceless to a busy admin or a busy programmer. There's a well known essay by Eric Raymond on this topic, concerning freeware and open source GUI's, called "The Luxury of Ignorance". The time to make the configuration manager clean and intelligible is invaluable, and also helps avoid entire classes of errors that even a skilled admin can make.
