Plus the gui would be useless unless it had all of the knowledge of all types of fses and what options were valid.
And coding that into a fstab gui program correctly seems like a massive undertaking with all of the details. so it would likely be a mess. I saw a gui to manage /etc/groups years ago (pre-linux), it let you add duplicate groups (diff name, same id) but then it let you select only the 2nd name/id but deleted by id so deleted the first/wrong one and left the 2nd one. So with its simple design it was actually worse than useless.
