I have used Plesk quite a lot in conjunction with a client of mine
that is entirely non-technical. It does a really good job of letting
you do most of what you'd like to regarding management of your web
site and mailboxes. The one thing I've griped about is not being
able to see things like the PHP error log or system messages log
but it makes sense that since those are shared resources they would
not be visible.

My client was able to pretty quickly get a grip on how to use Plesk
as well so it passed the naive user test.
