I'm by no means an expert in GUI configuration tools (since I don't use
them), but wouldn't such conflicts be refered to as bugs.

I wouldn't have non-techie types configure a kernel.  While you may get
by with a minimal understanding of hardware, you *will* fail if you
don't know your hardware.  Besides, it wouldn't qualify on your other
criteria: it doesn't handle dependencies properly (at least for PPC
kernels).
