A GUI for editting settings

Well, I have worked with config files before ( also JSON ). It is the settings.json of Visual Studio Code. But VSC has a GUI page for the ''Settings'' command. When I clicked the ''Settings'' in Windows Terminal for the first time, I felt surprised because no settings window showed in my screen, but a VSC window opening the settings.json. Though I know how to write in JSON files, I still felt uneasy to edit settings in a JSON file. If Windows Terminal could have a GUI for editting settings, it would be easier for beginners to use. What's more, not everyone has a text editer for JSON, and if the settings.json is opened as plain text, it will be hard to read.
I hope Windows Terminal can have a GUI for editting settings.
