'k, I wouldn't go to the extent of 'hate', but, at least when I looked at 
it way back when, there is no concept of a 'central console' ... or has 
that changed?

Right now, I have one console that everyone logs into to do things (and 
one to maintain / upgrade / debug), while with webmin, I would have 
hundreds of them ... and I'd still need seperate solutions for, say, 
support tickets ...

If that is a solution for you, then something like DTC will far blow away 
webmin ... its a nice clean interface, includes billing, etc, etc ...

... but again, you are talking about hundreds of installs that need to be 
maintained / upgraded / debugged ...

With my current system, although it doesn't have all the features that I'd 
like, if I fix a bug that one client reports with the system, I fix *all* 
clients ...

Here is some screenshots of what I mean:
