I've been toying with the idea of writing a control panel (if there's actually a market for another one!!). I have used Ensim and WebCP a little, and I'm very familiar with Plesk. I've written several somewhat large apps before, so yes, I do know what I'd be getting myself into :D

I'm thinking of writing it in Python with a MySQL backend, or perhaps PHP but I already know Python. Anyhow, I'm looking for ideas.

What features would you want in your perfect control panel? I'd like to know what the folks who actually use these things every day would like.
