[asterisk-users] What web GUI are people happy with?

So how long would it take you to "vi" a 20 extension office with custom
dialplan involving a medium level of complexity?  Including time to debug
etc.

This is *very* much a "to each their own" issue.  You say that a web
GUI is more efficient - I say that vi is more effecient.  You say that
using a text editor is more error-prone - I say that a web GUI is more
likely to mess things up in a difficult way to troubleshoot.

Use what works for you and don't worry about it.
