In my head it is easier to do all configuration options and server directives out of a single flat text file and the ability to run all server commands via the command line either at the terminal or with open-ssh. This is of course as opposed to a millions windows with subwindows/directories/files/hidden options/registery hacks, but maybe thats just me :) . There are are some GUI apache configuration tools out there but couldn't give you any offhand as I have never really looked for any.
