Adding a VLAN takes 26 clicks and 71 keystrokes across 6 screens

You dont have to input anything into the vlan field, the name gets auto generated if you leave it empty.

What is the correct way for OPNsense customers to give feedback? [...]

Personally, I think the forum is the place to start. Naturally, in an ideal world everyone would research their issue and incorporate prior discussion and work, but this isn't always realistic, for a number of reasons. For myself, I like to throw stuff out and get feedback, and then perhaps open an issue on github if I think it actually has merit. I try to see the legacy and direction of the project, but I don't always succeed, of course.

As far as your suggestions, they don't strike me as significant. That is, filling in some default values would make no difference to me, just as a lots of clicking and typing to set up a VLAN doesn't bother me. Oh, and I care little for/about wizards, and I'm not likely to use the API. My $.02, and worth every penny.

Understandable. All I can say is "Y'all keep up the good work", because occasionally I'm going to have this great idea that I can't believe y'all haven't considered...
