I use Webmin almost daily for certain tasks, and find it extremely 
useful, eg I do my Cyrus admin this way.

Webmin is modular, and the quality of the modules varies enormously. 
Some are excellent, like the IMAP Admin module, and some will break 
things before you've realised what it's done.

Try the various modules and uninstall the cr*p ones!
