I am one of those who had a hard time making coworkers adapt to the
command line. I think a GUI would make things much easier for them.
Plus, the additional features would be useful for everyone.

I would like to see the GUI implemented. However, I don't think I can
help much more than by giving opinions, as I will have very little
spare time for the next months. :-\
