As user who tried to use Conduit, I don't think that GUI is a problem
itself - I like the way it displays how it will handle sync. However,
it is very hard to configure anything within it.

So I suggest streamline gui a bit (but in general keep it as it is),
add posibility to use Conduit as service/lib (from Evolution of
Epiphany, for example), AND provide sexy way of adding syncs via
wizards and guides, providing good help along the way.

Just for a start simple wizard with pointing what and to where I want
to sync it would be nice.

Just my two euro cents,
Peter.
