It would be nice to have the look of CSE appear more like Windows Explorer with icons for folders and such. Also, to perhaps re-locate the various sections of Navigation, Search, Output, Virtual Console, etc to spread-out better in columns and/or maybe w/ popups and/or w/ DHTML or Ajax -type styles.

....not to bloat it, but to make it more comfortable since that is its intent.....for general support users who are not as "tech-inclined" or comfortable w/ SSH direct command.

....plus, the speed of point-clicking has advantages to typing also.

I agree with this. I would like it much better as well.
