It's a cross-platform GUI. It can work in tons of platforms with very minor changes (compared to how we used to do it).
Also Jake took the opportunity and coded the whole thing from the ground up,adding way better exception handling,more useful error messages and getting rid of many bugs.
Also it doesn't have limitations the old GUI had, thus there are tons of new stuff we could do with this that would not be possible with the old one
Plus, in my opinion, it's prettier and more streamlined (options are bunched together more appropriately with options getting little bit better descriptions)
