Is there a GUI interface for Apache?

issues

I found it very confusing after first swapping to it from IIS 6.  Having had 
time to adjust, I think it's a pretty good representation of a complex system.  
It's certainly easier to find the settings that were quite esoteric/hidden away 
in previous managers.

The one thing I don't like is the swapping between site content/site features 
via tabs in the main panel... my brain just doesn't grok it.  Personal 
preference though, I'm sure!

Agreed - took me a while to get used to it, much better than IIS6 though.  I
like the way most settings are now stored in web.config.  Since I have many
IIS sites deployed from one 'master' via an automated process I can set it
all up in one place.  What I really don't like is that some settings are
still hidden away in the 'metabase', and that some features (SMTP for
instance) are still only accessible via the old IIS6 GUI tool.

Please no!  If Apple designed it, they would take away all the 'unnecessary'
features until all that was left was an on/off switch.

Hell no. The only good user interface to come out of Apple is the iPhone.

My wife has a Mac and it is torture to use compared to Windows. I don't know
where people get off saying Macs are easy to use but I find MacOSX terrible.
