Are there any Asterisk GUIs out there that actually parse the data files,
themselves, instead of having some sort of metadata middle-man, which
leads to said overwriting?  I mean, I, personally, love the CLI -- always
have been a fast typist -- but I also know the CLI would scare the living
bejeepers out of my boss if/when I try to push hard on an Asterisk
solution.  What I'd prefer is:

- The chance to do CLI stuff as I see fit, BUT
- the ability to let users -- even administrative users -- use a GUI,
without messing up my beautiful config files.

Is this a pipe dream, or is there a GUI out there that might actually do
the job?

Thanks,
