Re:Cpanel University! But you're doing it all wrong!

I work for a host which depends on cpanel. I've co-written an application similar to Fantastico called QuickInstall and it integrates with cPanel. (well, I did the rewrite - don't blame me for version 1!).
cpanel is mind bogglingly stupid. It packages its own Perl binary which is incompatible with a lot of modern modules and features. The API has way too much unnecessary cruft. On top of that, the interface is hideous and unorganized.
I pushed to rewrite it but apparently people really depend on it and will jump ship.
