That last one doesn't seem to add anything useful with the modified GUI...
kind of silly. The bb4.com one however isn't all that bad, take page 8 for
example, that gives me lots of info that may be very useful (page
faults/second, cache hits/second), I can't find that stuff on my hobbit
server atm (and certainly not in such a orderly fashion on only one page).

It's the core functionality I really care about. As long as the GUI isn't
stopping me from doing usefull stuff (for example, not allowing me to edit
config files manually anymore or adding custom scripts), I don't see the
problem.

That said, I am however happy to stick with xymon. If bb4 has a nice
feature, just nick the idea and do it the xymon way!:)
