I would estimate 90% of my use of mythweb is for scheduling and the 
other is for bulk deletion.


I do all scheduling via mythweb - whether local from my computer or 
remote via my phone.  I find it faster to navigate from my computer than 
to do this via the frontend.   The mythtv web looks nice, but it is more 
difficult to navigate the interface via the computer or phone, but I 
could easily live with one solution or the other.
