Agreed. The text-based interface seems to me like yet-another-interface

Following this basis, one may come and implement another text-based
interface to display the rule-set in the kernel and so on.
But is there an equivalent user tool and interface at this time
to obtain the same information?
No that I know of, but that doesn't matter as long as nobody has a
need for it.
As a developer of Xtables modules I have a need ;-)
That was one of my first thoughts, it looks mainly useful for
developers. And I'm not very fond of the idea of adding almost
300 lines of segfile beauty for that.
