My alternative is to manage critical systems without using a web based

I can do that without a problem.

This cuts both ways - if you have a large infrastructure, you don't use a
web based GUI either, because visiting 1,000+ pages to reconfigure 1,000+
switches really sucks.  At that point, you want a scriptable CLI so you can
do something like

for i in `cat switches`; do ssh $i your_command_here; done
