I'd like to see an AIX SMIT clone (or at least something in spirit). For those who haven't used it, its a text & motif based system administration tool which basically guides you through a pile of options and then runs the commands required to do the task. It has made my life tons easier when dealing with AIX, and it'd probably be a great help for newbies and it would tie all of the administrative tasks together. Here's a couple of 'screen shots' for the text-based version.
