"The Web-based admin program can be cumbersome, especially the product entry and update pages, which have a large and confusing collection of options."
Better known as the KDE effect. OSS seems to have this obsession with control. If you can't do something to 'it', then someone's "dictating to you" or "taking away your rights (freedom)" e.g.Gnome.
