This I remember from my last experience with it. But that was quite a
while ago. Has it not changed?

That doesn't seem particularly praising of either, and doesn't address

I do like the apparent integration of tasks in ebox, though.

I'll also look into ISPConfig. The name rings a bell, I can't remember
if it's for good things or bad things, though.

Yeah, I saw that. 
So long as the format stays the same, I can probably cope with
symlinking from where I think they should be in order to keep myself
sane when I'm editing them.
