Config Pages
At some point I was tired of creating custom pages using menu and
form API, writing tons of code just to have a page with an ugly
form where a client can enter some settings, and as soon as a
client wants to add some interactions to the page (drag&drop,
ajax etc) things starts to get hairy. The same story was with the
creation of dedicated CT just to theme a single page (like
homepage) and explaining why you can only have 1 node of this
type, or force it programmatically.
