I was having the same idea the other week. There are some serious
shortcomings in the current UI (one example is the lack of being able to
enable/disable SSH key management on templates when registering them).
I think it might be a good idea to radically simplifly the UI that ships
with ACS and then start a new ACS subproject (like the AWS or GCE API
proxies) for a new, full-featured UI which could run in a different
language and have the possibility of running at a different cadence than
the ACS management system. This would allow UI bugs and features to be
handled faster (or slower) than the core management server functionality
and APIs.
It might also be worthwhile to explore building the UI in a different
language than Java to potentially attract other developers to the ACS
project who might be more comfortable in Python, Ruby, or NodeJS.

Has the idea of a 'light' UI been discussed? More aimed at end users who we
could tailor dialog to and keep it fast and simple.
I could see this as a good starting point to redevelop the whole UI.

Great proposals Sebastien! Let's AWSAPI, improve code, remove dead code,
cleanup JIRA/RB cleanup and move to Github PR.
I hope we’ll have a better UIs for ACS users soon!
