</div>There's another use case you probably have not thought of: quickly<br>
hacking together a config for testing purposes. I could use my trusty<br>
old editor to get the job done, but syslog-ng.conf is verbose. Very<br>
verbose, and for me, it is a welcome change to be able to click together<br>
a config. It is probably slower than writing by hand, but much less<br>
annoying, and less annoyance is always a good thing.<br>
<br>
I found the configurator to be very useful in my daily work, in cases<br>
when I don't need overly complex configs (and most often, I do not), but<br>
something simple I can click together with one hand, while sipping<br>
coffee. This thing allows me to do that, and does so marvellously fine.<br>
