Love that there's a Boost tab on the 1.0 release. Still, there's been so many great features added recently to Boost that it's starting to get as complicated to administer as Pathauto. I'm opening this issue for discussion of what could be done to make the UI simple enough for this module to gain in mass popularity. I think the goal should be like D7UX to empower the 80% of people who will want a good set of defaults, and to determine what are the fiddly bits to hide away.

Also, the admin screens need some proofreading. I can help with that, but not at the moment.

One key thing:
* Move "Directories and File Settings" above Advanced Settings.
I have to look at that section more often, because I sync from a test site to production, and need to ensure the caching directories are correct.

More to come...

latest dev does even more changes; load it up in a test server, and let me know what changes you would like to see. The htaccess generation will end up on another tab; been thinking about it and thats the best option.

Forgot to add in an update function to clear the cache; I might be able to get away with just clearing the menu cache.

/**
 * Update 6110 - Flush core caches
 */
function boost_update_6110() {
  // Flush caches, needed since the menus where changed around.
  drupal_flush_all_caches();
  return array(array('success' => TRUE, 'query' => 'Core Caches Flushed.'));
}
