GUI server tools?

Using a webmin seems like a very un-intuitive way of solving the
problem. The Fedora way of Gnome-integrated applications is better
(they provide cli-versions as well). This way the desktop seems more
professional and desktop-centred.
Perhaps it could be possible to put links in the gnome-menu to webmin
etc, but I still mean that its bad to not make it gnome-integrated when
we have the chance. I would argue that as a desktop, we cant change the
defaults program from release to release (browsers etc, it would make it
harder to have a working desktop over time, and confusing.) And if we
choose to have webmin to some configuration, we cant just change
programs when gnome system tools include support for things we now cant
configure with g-s-t.
I would argue that either not adding a gui for configuring services (or
any other needs) or making Gnome integrated programs is the way to go.
Using Gnome system tools seems to me as a very good way to go, since
that makes Gnome desktops more alike. If every one implemented theyre
own way to configure things, then that would be kind of a bad way to go.
