In my opinion it is much more important to have a tool which is maintained upstream, so that bugs get fixed and new features (to be state-of-the-art and to support the newest CUPS features) get added.

With the unmaintained gnome-cups-manager we have a tool which will get more and more outdated with the time and bugs accumulate and do not get fixed due to lack of good maintainership.

It is much more user friendly if the printer setup tool has less bugs and supports modern printing system and driver features out of the box than having printers displayed as icons.
