Once you find the right or "perfect" settings, you never have edit the .ini files again. At least I've never had to.

What would you have Dolphin do? It's one thing to say something should be improved; it's something else to explain how. As Link_to_the_past noted, GUIs for this sort of thing tend to get really messy and really cluttered really quickly. How would we reasonably implement a GUI that's easy to maintain code-wise and doesn't overwhelm new and experienced users alike?
The .ini files as they are seem the best compromise to me. Noobs don't usually mess with it unless they're looking for something specific, and advanced users already have an idea of what they want. Parsing the .ini files avoids adding potentially complex GUI options to an emulator that's already saturated with GUI options. Instead of focusing on "tweaking" options, just find the most ideal ones and be done with the .ini file altogether. Set it and forget it once you've got what you're looking for.
