Besides having quite a number of open bugs, how important is the gui option?
The GUI is not important at all. In fact, up to today, I didn't even realize it HAD a GUI! The GUI wasn't in the original ebuild I wrote in CVS many years ago, or in upstream at the time, somebody added it along the way. I'll rip out the GUI stuff in a revbump. Absolutely everything in the GUI is doable via the CLI.

What functionality are you using in the GUI that isn't available via the CLI?
(In reply to Robin Johnson from comment #4) > What functionality are you using in the GUI that isn't available via the CLI? Not needing to remember various command lines for a tool I almost never use; being able to see at a glance (perhaps even from next to my generator) what my input voltage is; at-a-glance time remaining counter; etc.
