I tend to agree with you.  I see the same thing in Novell.  The
C-worthy interface on the server was very nice for many reasons. 
They have pretty much abandoned it for the ConsoleOne approach.  That
is fine until you get a situation like I had recently and the server
is sick enough that you cannot attach across the network and cannot
get X to fire up on the server.  

As far as configuring Linux though, I have started to really use and
depend on Webmin a lot.  It is really quite nice for many things. 
The firewall setup tool feels alot like the GUI tools for Firewall1. 
It is pretty straight forward.  Many of the other tools are pretty
good too!  I can administrate the box from anywhere with a GUI setup
screen.
