I am not using 5.3 so can not really comment. But on the CLI vs GUI debate,
whilst I agree that a working knowledge of the command line interface is a
necessity, the GUI can be very useful for admins like me for whom TSM admin
is just maybe 10% of my job and keeping up with all parameters and flags is
never going to happen.

We've been over this CLI vs. GUI issue before. There are those TSM admins
out there that are more comfortable with the help features and
fill-in-the-blank processes of the GUI, and then there are those that
truly learn all of the parameters and flags of the TSM command set by
using the command line. (Of course, using the CLI is much easier when you
can touch type at a decent speed--a skill set that I feel is absolutely
critical for a decent admin of any flavor.)
