Some simple things:

1. editing configs actually is useful just bc you don't have to type
in the whole config pathname

2. tag containers in the list view and perform group actions

3. open consoles - heck, perhaps tag containers in the list view,
create a new screen session, and open a console for each container
in a new window in the screen session.  Limited by # of screens in
a session though.
