Brett, The demand for asterisk GUI's could be that the world primarily consists of "four year olds" (as you put it - I call them customers) and not geeks with pocket protectors and Vi skills to tame all tasks.
When you realize that IP Telephony/Asterisk was restricted to such a small band of users when it was pure coding with Vi and .conf files and now with GUI's like Trixbox you have a much wider base of users experimenting and implementing. Of course that's not to say that Trixbox is the be-all and end-all......personally I think that there is a hell of a lot missing (/wrong) with the Trixbox/Fonality product and a lot that could be/should be done differently/better. ....but that's for another email.
