The OpenLDAP Project is only concerned with implementing the low level functionality. If you want a GUI, ask the Apache Directory Studio folks.

But back-config's schema has a very high influence.

The question is why it's so much easier for GUI clients to directly support tweaking cn=config or similar configuration entries of other directory servers?

Is it easier? File ITSs on the obvious problem areas then. AFAIK all other directory servers with LDAP-enabled configuration still intend for you to use their custom client for configuration.
