Is Cisco ASA UI an ASDM replacement worth bothering with?

Question

Cisco

Good afternoon.
Due to the nature of his activity, he must sometimes configure the Cisco ASA. I started working as a sysadmin, but now I'm doing other tasks. Since I work on Linux and setting up via cli is not always necessary, I have to run ASDM on a Windows virtual machine, and it’s not always convenient for my assistant with sysadmin tasks.
Recently, about the update, I noticed that a restapi package appeared . Set up and looks pretty interesting.
And in connection with the global isolation at the weekend, he muddied a small face on angular . While there is a look at interfaces , static-routes , and network-objects . it looks something like this
Login via ASA User

Interfaces

Static routes

Network Objects

Tell me, does it make sense to bother with this and create an opensource project, or am I fooling around?

Well, it looks pretty. I would even say cool

But you're still doing well. A sysadmin with angular is definitely better than just a sysadmin :)
some routine operations can probably be implemented in gui and done beautifully and conveniently,
but the main functionality will remain in cli and
in general it’s more convenient to configure in cli if you know how you do
n’t need to look in which section and area screen which button is located.
and autocomplete helps out a lot, which can’t be done in guy.
But in guy it’s convenient to look at statistics and all sorts of different graphics
, gui is also good when you write not just a stop-pick interface to one piece of hardware,
but a kind of controller that rolls out a config or policy to several devices at once.
and even so that the transactional model is (ACID) i.e. validation and the ability to rollback changes.
True, it will be difficult to implement this with REST, but in general,
even if there is no benefit to anyone, it makes sense to deal with similar pet projects
all the more useful than plump and / or poke into serials
