I don't see any reason why a dynamic GUI must have poor usability.  
This might have been true for the JMX console, but the management model
provides tons of metatdata.  It even provides localized help text.   I
believe it is possible to put together a very nice GUI for it that is
completely dynamic.  The CLI GUI is already decent and it required very
little code.  I see nothing that stops it from becoming extremely usable
and useful.
