I'll second that, but also point out it is a KDE based app, and as I
recall Sean mentioned that he is using slackware (not that you cannot
run KDE there, but I don't believe it's the default...) so this might
mean installing "too much" just to get a simple gui... ;)

For "simple command line", you can always write your own "wrapper"
script around the existing complex command line tools to reduce the
complexity (i.e., supply all the parameters that *you* want or need on a
regular basis)  Of course, this means slogging through the "complex"
program at several times to figure out what you need in the first place
-- often by the time you've done that, you'll have memorized the command
line "that works" for you, and never quite get around to putting that
into a command file...
