Definitely, the ability to use modals for complex configurations would help UX a LOT. Better than using slash commands for setting up things (long and tedious) or creating a whole admin website for the bot. |

The idea of modals in general is pretty cool, and giving developers the ability to use them is even cooler. However, as of right now, they can only be used to ask users for further input via components.
Making use of modals to display data without expecting any kind of input would open up lots of possibilites to rethink how bots display large amounts of data. Embeds are currently pretty much the only way to do that, but we all know they don't always do the job as we wish they did (think inline fields on mobile, inconsistent text wrapping and the likes).
This new way to display data would ideally come with full "enhanced" markdown support, including headers, bullet points, pictures, emojis and maybe even tables..
Long leaderboards, complex configurations or anything that doesn't fit in embeds or does but by sacrificing the looks would find its place into enhanced modals displaying data.
