Recently i configured a webserver for a friend of mine and webmin was what the webmaster enjoyed the most :)
I find it easy to setup and once you cut off ¾ of the icons on the webmin interface it starts to look good.
I never trusted cpannel, things break here and there for no reason.
I never trusted webmin, seeing how many exploits (even root exploits) were available for it. usermin was the last I saw a warning for.
---- I don't/won't use usermin so I can't comment on that but Jamie is so quick with updates that webmin is hardly a security issue if you regularly yum update and install webmin from dag/rpmforge
Webmin was invaluable to me as a learning tool (before I figured out where the config files were buried) and I use it as a leave behind mainly for my customers to use the LDAP Users/Groups to add/delete users and if necessary, the shut down the beast since there is rarely a keyboard/mouse/monitor on the servers.
I still use webmin for DHCP and BIND server configuration because it makes it really simple.
