Your favorite control panel?

Hi guys,
Which control panel are you using at the moment? What are the features which you love about it and what extra features would you like to see in it? What features you don't like about it?

WHM/cpanel

The only other control panel I've used was Plesk, and the one I used seemed a bit basic compared to cpanel.

I used plesk for a very short time but did not like it, maybe needed more time to get used to it.

I use cpanel for my own stuff, but plesk for a client's projects. It takes a bit of getting used to. But I do quite like plesk now. I only use them both at a very basic level though.

I like DirectAdmin a lot ( www.directadmin.com ). It does everything I need it to, does it well, and doesn't interfere with the operating system too much. With Cpanel and Ensim it's too easy to break the control panel by upgrading programs or changing configurations. I've never used Plesk, but I've heard that it has similar issues. With Directadmin you can tweak away 'till your heart's content and the CP still works smoothly.

I'm only using DA for my own sites so far, so I can't comment on how well it would handle a large number of hosting clients. I still use Ensim for my hosting clients because it would be a nightmare to try to migrate them to another server.

If you're shopping around for a new control panel I'd definitely at least give Directadmin a look.
