I disagree highly deuce. Anyone can figure out litestep based on the documentation. Some specific modules have esoteric documentation that even a seasoned DB programmer couldn't figure out without emailing the author, but for the most part the docs are more than adequate. The problem isn't the content or the format, it's the presentation.

People are intimidated by text-file configuration, especially when there's a dozen or more conf files. (imho that's the only reason anyone in the world uses IIS over apache)

I don't know if specifically having a GUI drag-and-drop type of configuration author program would fix that.... (ie, if you like the theme you have but you want to have something that's not dragable pop up somewhere else, open the theme in the program and it'll let you drag something somewhere or give it a new set of images or whatever..)

Certainly wouldn't do anything for me, doubt I'd even download it ;) But I'm sure it would entice a lot of would-be users to take the jump.
