IMO it's valid criticism and at the same time IMO GUIs are unnecessary frills. If you've tried Cisco routers - you can export ALL configurations by running command `show running-configuration`, or `display current-configuration` on Huawei routers, or `show configuration commands`on Vyatta/VyOS/EdgeOS, which can then be restored onto a brand new router by just right click pasting that log into the ssh session. That's VASTLY superior to ANY GUI. IMO. YMMV. IANAL. Views are my own. But it is. | ||

this is why TNSR was API first with a CLI. https://docs.netgate.com/tnsr/en/latest/basics/config-databa... We have a lot of requests for a GUI, so one is in development. | ||

All UCI configuration on OpenWRT is stored in /etc/config/, and exporting/importing it is as simple as one scp command. The GUI is great for discoverability, on the other hand. | ||

It is convenient then that Luci (openwrts web ui) is based on top of uci which is fully exposed through a CLI and/or config files. | ||
