I think if it become as good as Vidalia and better, that would be most welcome.
Questions are:
* What is missing in Vidalia? * Why has development of Vidalia stopped? * Time to switch to python? * Time for a rewrite or better improve the existing code base?
Before developing it, I'd make a list of requirements/features.
