If we see the UI of other cloud base softwares like couchbase or riak, they are more intuitive than solr's UI. Of course the UI is brand new and need a lot of improvements. Per example the possibility of select a existing config from zookeeper when you are using the wizard to create a collection. Even more, a section to upload a config from de UI without use the cryptical zkClient script.
