the only thing about editing a config file is the comments.
for a user that knows nothing about their computer, comments would have to
be dumbed down considerably.
for people like us that want to know and want to do such things, we don't
have too much trouble decifiring someone's crappy comments.

Only problem is that the gui makes it extremely difficult to set file permissions, and very hard to tell to what exactly you are setting those permissions to. In Linux, all you have to do is edit a config file, and that's it! A process that should take 1 or 2 minutes, took me about three hours because of the f-ing gui!
