But just talking about the UI question, "intuitive, user-friendly dashboard" is absolutely not the issue when it comes to systems administration. I can tell ArkOS/Genesis is already way too far off course because there is a separate GUI interface to /etc/fstab.
The dashboard was forked from a prior project called Ajenti, which the fstab interface and many other parts were included from. It is being converted in stages and that is one that has not been addressed yet. So be patient, the current version is far from what a usable edition is supposed to look like. :)
It's so frustrating how consumer-level ISPs seem to continue to want to evolve their service into a consume-only (a la cable TV) system.
