When I first started using Synchronet, I found it surprising that Synchronet doesn't have a traditional menu system like other BBS packages tend to have, and instead uses command shells.  A sysop basically has to have (or develop) some programming skill in order to add/remove menu items or change their menu structure.  But I like the flexibility that its scripted command shells offer.
