Well, I actually got used to cn=config pretty quickly, nevertheless, I still find easier to understand and modify the slapd.conf file than the directory structure under slapd.d... it is definitely more complex (and I don't think it is easier to modify using a LDAP administration tool).
The directory structure under slapd.d is private/internal to slapd.
Forget it is even there. As far as you're concerned, it does not even exist.
The only thing you should ever look at is the LDAP DIT, whether returned by slapcat, ldapsearch, or your LDAP GUI browser of choice.
That's really bad news.
Sorry, probably I'm just an old style Unix admin, but I don't like at all to be forced to use any kind of program different from an editor to do a server configuration.
That's a major strenght of an Unix system, and giving it away is very bad. I understand that in some case it will be needed, what I don't agree is forcing this choice for all the cases.
