This just shows how different people think what is called easy .....
And I know I'm probably old fashioned, but I also like just editing ini files for configuration.  Mame uses this system which lets be honest is why most people have a cabinet...so if you can configure Mame you can configure Mamewah (or other ini-based fe). 

I hear you Dude.... it has it's pros and cons

But just to clarify..... MaLa Gui lets you config MAME and MaLa so you don't necessary need to edit .ini files which is great for newbies who are moving on from mame32.  Of course you can still do it the 'old fashioned' way too  ;D, (as Mame and MaLa still refer to .ini files)  . And you can use MaLa config on a in Low Rez setup (arcade monitor). Have a go !!
