I really like the way that Lonnie's "alternative" gui has progressed and would like the other developers (and users) thoughts about using his gui as the primary gui for the project. Lonnie has better php-foo than the other developers and has created a gui which maintains almost all (if not all) of the functionality of the original gui with some added features which I find useful.
