Work in progress is always interesting. As I said, and as did the link(s) 
there is yet to be a GUI.

From what I read 'they' are working on this and this.

A real 'tester', gee I dislike that name, would live with the short comings of 
Rawhide and deal with the problems. If you really need a GUI to setup your 
system, actually *if* can only use a GUI to setup your system, you should not 
really be using Rawhide. Rawhide is often broken for some reason or another. 
It is not for the faint of heart.
