ToxCreate should be a simple tool for novice users (without an
understanding of algorithms and parameters).  How can we expect that a
novice user makes an informed decision if even we (i.e.  the experts)
cannot provide better alternatives?

PS We have been discussing a medium-level GUI with selection of
algorithms and parameters from the beginning, but I have always clearly
stated that we will not have the resources to implement that in
ToxCreate. Anyone who is interested can take our opento-ruby library and
wrap a GUI around it.
