One single repository, built in the community on open source tools, assembled into whatever spins the Fedora community desires."

This is what I'm talking about. Screenshots for the Red Hat / Fedora version are at http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/config-tools/redhat-config-networ... and the ones from Gnome (though these look slightly different than the Gnome 2.16 version, you get the general idea) are at http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/screenshots.html

Yes, System-config-* tools precedes the development of GNOME tools, written in Python, well integrated with Fedora from the first version and has unique tools like system-config-lvm which is not in the GNOME set. So replacing one with another doesnt make much sense.
If you do want GNOME tools, feel free to get involved and be a maintainer. ANYONE interested can learn to do it.

"I know that the Redhat Network utility was around before the Gnome-System-Tools, but Fedora Core didn't even have the system tools packaged for it! "
Fedora always had all the system-config* tools available from the first version.
