my 2 cents
nothing beats command line / batch files in flexibility, but the problem is that you end up with hundreds of them with no way to sort through
a perfect frontend would simply be a sortable table of shortcuts with customizable columns. it can even be game-agnostic, would work for quake and whatnot just as well as for doom. doesn't even have to be game-related at all, but somehow I couldn't find any programs like that

most other common features such as switching ports or autoloading mods can already be done either through configs or command line variables, so in the end while possibly nice to have, they are just extra bloat. if the "database" of this hypothetical frontend is plaintext, all of that could also be a single "search and replace" away
