Not that I'm advocating it (I'm don't care one way or the other), but
most Linux people dislike the windows registry for reasons this project
would fix:
- All key-value pairs are stored in clear-text files. (Windows uses
binary files(?)) (Next question, how about nested values...
- It is designed to be easy to administrate with regular command line
tools like cat, vi, cp, ls, ln. Its storage is 100% open. (this is also
a common argument against Windows Registry by anti-registry folk)
Anybody can abuse a flat text file config system too, just as much as
the Windows Registry becomes a horrible mess.
