I don't have very much experience with the user interface or capabilities of Jopr. I just tried it a few days ago with JBoss 5. So I can hardly give very reasonable hints on changes with practical relevance.
I just noticed that the "overall" user experience is not like in the Glassfish admin console. In my opinion the Glassfish admin console has a clearer structure and gives the user the impression that you can tweak any parameter and option of Glassfish with this single web application.
But I'm going to try out Jopr some more time before I come up with stupid proposals and advices in your forum ;-)

Well the design of Embedded-jopr is that on the left side is a folder structure like you find in Windows Explorer. The top level is the machine, then the server, then the services in the server. So you can open up the "folders" and see the items inside. You can select a folder or a single service and get information on it.
For each individual service you might have metrics, configuration, operations (actions to do on the service), and content (jar files etc)
What you see in terms of services is completely based on what plugins you have in the app. The plugins is what determines if you can configure say a Topic or Queue.
The UI itself is generic in that you can even create your own plugin and drop it in the plugins directory and now those objects that you define in your plugin automatically show up.
As far as comparisons, you can't compare a 1.1 version to something that has been out for a long time and expect the 1.1 version to quite have all the features implemented yet. But Embedded-jopr is, to me, and I am biased since I helped create it, is much more flexible than the other consoles for other servers, and knowing the team, will soon bypass the features of other consoles.
