Clunky Admin Tool in EA-B43

I installed an early access build
http://download.java.net/glassfish/v3/promoted/glassfish-v3-ea-b43.zip and
noticed that the admin tool did not feel like the one from prelude or v2.
Looks like this one is using JSF. The problem with it is that it is very
clunky, does not have the same crisp feeling like the one from previous
versions. Items on the screen jump around every time I click on something. I
also kept getting many admin exceptions while navigating within it.

Any reason why this change was made, considering that the GF's admin tool
from the previous version was actually one of its selling points. I was
actually planning on doing a demo of GF to replace JBoss and use the admin
tool in my demo, but with the new version that would be hard to do.

Thanks,

Abe
