In the 'bad old days' of computing, everything was based on a text file.  It
forces one to really understand what is behind the changes.  I for one do
not subscribe to the 'dumbing down' of operating systems and certain

do it, and thats the point...its not always 'that easy'...nor should it be.
Very well stated.

Except for the elitist nonsense, and beside the point, really:
If people think such a hypothetical tool would be useful and want to
write and use such a thing, they should go ahead and do so.
If you think this is nonsense, it's not for you, which is fine.
  It's certainly not for me. But other than stating the reasons why I
think this is not practical and helpful in the real world, why should
I try to convice others to /not/ write duch a thing? Because "some
things should not be easy"?

I think you got the point exactly. What would we Apache wizards be for, if it was so easy that anyone can do it ?
;-)

In an earlier post to the OP, I mentioned that there were really 2 categories of webserver administrators. I think the subsequent messages on this topic prove the point.
