Huh? Especially the last part really makes me go "huh?". System-config-
firewall is dead simple to use: I want service S to work, I check the box 
for service S if it's one of the common ones, or pick service S from the 
full /etc/services list if it's an uncommon one, or enter its port manually 
if it's some nonstandard service listening on an arbitrary port. I don't see 
how the UI can be any simpler.

firewall-config is only complicated because firewalld is overly complex.
