Something that interfaces with the AppDB would be good. It would make things easier. I think, given the complaints given by the developers are also valid but so are the complaints made by the people trying to use the program and even the testers. Most other projects don't need such tools but this one does given what its trying to accomplish and the complexity of whats being accomplished. Besides even windows XP has a roll back feature now to fix problems. Why doesn't wine considering its attempting a bug for bug compatibility with windows. This would be a wise thing to implement just for sanities sake.
IMO, the best thing for Wine would be to have a simple front end with a list of freely downloadable applications that work "out of the box" with no configuration changes.
Click -> Download application -> Install -> Run
This is exactly what we try to have with the next version of WineTools.
