All are good questions that I've thought about at length, but I don't
claim to have the final answer.

I will say that if we completely hide the operation commands in CLI GUI
then we lose a lot of the teaching aspect that the tool provides.  I
think that's really important.  We want more and more people to learn
how to use the commands and eventually create scripts.  Once they feel
the power they will be totally dedicated to AS7.
