What advantages would a Blast GUI program have over the existing web 
interfaces?  The NCBI's online blast is very easy to use already.

For those people who need to automate things then using BioPython (or 
BioPerl or ...) with either online or standalone blast is fine - it just 
takes more work from the user.

Are you trying to do something in between?  More powerful than the 
existing web-blast GUI, and less complex that a scripting interface?
