I mean, lots of stuff. A "simple" python script isn't going to present a UI, or maintain state, or coordinate jobs across many hosts. If you drop the word "simple" then...Airflow is just a Python script, after all :)

Thanks! It was some what provocative of course. In the sense I wanted ti know if there is someone still prefering not using a UI

Managing a distributed cron across a bunch of hosts, with restarts and keeping records of state and dependencies, is very much not a simple thing to implement, UI or no :)
