I personally don't like swat either, and I don't run graphical desktops on my servers, so gave up on a gui editor long, long ago. For adhoc workstation shares, the "user share" stuff in nautilus (or is it just ubuntu?) seems to work well enough. For "hand it off to a non-techie", I use a NAS appliance like openfiler or freenas.
You don't need to run a graphical desktop on your server in order to use a graphical interface to Samba. You can use a web service such as Webmin.
