maybe make it so bitcoin.conf settings can be edited with in the app instead of external editor, and make it easier to enable rpc server mode...

JSON-RPC is a huge security risk. It's perfectly reasonable that enabling it requires some technical mumbo-jumbo.

Are there specific configuration settings that you would like to see exposed by the GUI?

You can help me and diapolo a lot by testing his pull request to add a few options to the options dialog (and improve the dialog in general),

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3347

It doesn't add the RPC settings though. As Mark says, it's dangerous to make it too easy to shoot yourself in the foot.
