The /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file is very well commented and is far easier to alter than using a GUI wrapper.
I think more than just a GUI wrapper is needed. A lot of effort has been invested to artificial intelligence, expert systems, ... and still computers are idioticly stupid if a Linux user wants to configure something and doesn't know the low level principles. I'm missing task-oriented wizards in Linux though I realize many people don't share my views. I don't care if they are CLI, GUI, or speech recognition based. I also don't care they are not in other operating systems - I miss them in Linux.
But then I like to get my hands dirty.
I think both approaches to administration (configuration files & simple to use tools) can coexist in Linux. The issue is not CLI & GUI but simplicity & complexity. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
