Frankly, once you get more than just a few cameras, being able to edit a config file is so much better than having to click through settings for literally hours like with Shinobi or Motioneye.
Very true. But brute force checking through tons of different settings for each camera you need to configure is not fun. I couldn't seem to find any kind of "known working configs" database or anything either. Every camera seems to be different in what it expects, outputs, authenticates, etc. Once it's set up, I agree, maintaining the config is easier. Having all your cameras match in model and firmware version probably makes the whole endeavor MUCH easier.
