I agree as well as the file editor, makes customizing the loader.conf alot easier in my oppinion.

As long as there is no filemanager in the GUI try WinSCP if you are using Windows as client OS. It is very easy to use, just configure ssh with root access and enable the ssh service.
In WinSCP you can browse thru the filesystem and open your conf. files with your favorite Windows editor (notepad++ for example). If you want to make a change just use control+T to open a terminal and type mount -uw / that the filesystem is writable (after a reboot it is read only again).
I think it is easier for changing something in the loader.conf as to login and use vi.

I would love to see a file manager and simple text editor via the GUI.

Yes win SCP works, in my oppinion Veeam's Fast SCP is a bit faster. But having a tool built into the interface would be a nice polish.
