> And the whole "we are cool, we configure in source code" is just lazy. Right. A little config file parsing library does not harm (and can be just copied into the project) but goes a long way for user experience. Look at icewm, one of my favourite software projects. Yes, it's written in 60K lines of C++, but it's rock solid, fast and flexible. The configuration mechanism is powerful and an example of "no bullshit" design.
