WOW...well, this was an unexpected hot button. To me, XML is as easy as the current config but looks more structured and seems like it would be more easily expandible.
I just vi whatever file I need anyway so GUI's make no difference to me, either. I find it interesting to note that not a single response has been in favor. At most, a non-committal, luke-warm "makes no diff" is the "most" favorable I've seen.
It has been an interesting discussion, though.

Subject: [hobbit] xml configs
Hey Henrik,
I know this would be a rather significant change but have you considered switching hobbit to use xml based config files? I'm actually working on an external module that will use an xml config file and thinking about the schema, etc it occurred to me that hobbit would lend itself nicely to xml configs.
Just curious...
