Fine for one game and one configuration Caz - but what about when you have a dozen or more DOS games your flipping between? Or even just 3 or 4. Want to re-configure Dosbox for each game each time? Or just set up eachj game in D-Fend and then just double click on the game you want? Any time I want to play one of my DOS games, all I have to do is go into the genre (because you can define the games by genre as well as put specific info like cheats etc for that game!) then double click on the game I want and voila, all the setting up to make that one game play the best it can within dosbox is handled by D-fend. Personally, I couldn't live without it.

I've been using dosbox for awhile now and I don't have to reconfigure it everytime I want to play a game. Just mount C: and choose which one I want to play from my hardrive and voila your playing
I guess if you don't like the DOS environment then D-fend would be preferable but I never minded dos and found it easier to deal with sometimes than windows.
The only thing you sometimes have to configure is the IRQ for soundblaster in the setup program but I'm pretty sure you would need to do that with D-fend too.

Noticed I said if you had many games... One of course is easy, but everyone knows different games need different DOSBox configurations, D-Fends makes profiles that rememer those configs, you play one game that needs one config, then anothr that needs another different config to work and of course you have to set it up in dosbox but you don't have to because in D-Fend it remembers it. Double clicking on a game title and having it open so I can play it in as perfect a way as I can get it is a lot easier than opening DOSBox, configuring it for the particular game you're going to play and then playing the game.
And please, I was saying that it was be easier to tell a newbie to tell them to get D-Fend than it would be to teach them though these threads how to configure DOSBox, and I still stand by that entirely.
