As a huge cbstream user, yes, that would be WAY easier. It's also easier to trust (even if it is less secure). I had to do a triple-take today logging in via the channel where I saw a bunch of other users sitting there - didn't want them to see my password!
In many ways, I would have preferred a web interface where I could just write a small script with WWW::Mechanize to pass my user/password across. Then whenever I find myself logged out (due to a cbstream-bot-reset), I could just switch over to a console and type "login_<tab>", see the "login_to_cbstream.pl" show up on my command line, hit enter, and be pretty much assured of as much security as anything else (seeing as perlmonks doesn't use ssl, either). Probably easy to launch from Xchat, too...
But who am I to complain ... it's still, overall, FAR easier to use (for me) than any of the other CB interfaces...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
