I find that the text-based interface of Clonezilla can have a non-intuitive workflow at times. One thing I like about it is that it will output the final command at the end, as well as the command needed to perform a restore. I wonder how this GUI will compare.q

Yeah it is not good enough. I have used it and contributed to the project with usability suggestions. There is a long way to go. But hey! The tech works for some usecases!

What new features and improvements would you like to see added to Rescuezilla?

Sorry, I meant the text based Clonezilla User interface, and even its command line switches.

For a project, I once made a bootable usb stick config of clonezilla that automatically started up restore of an image to the one ssd in the machine. To get that to work I had to bring up stuff with the boys down in Taiwan (clonezilla team) because there were several things that were documented wrong or did other things than what it said on the tin. The difference is pretty huge between the old and venerable Powerquest Drive Image versus Clonezilla.
