Personally I like the Mac plist system the best. It just works, and it works so well that you never hear about it because no one ever complains about it!

- fanf2 5y agoThere are at least three different formats for plist files, and the tools are differently broken depending on the format. There are some really odd cases like terminal colour settings which are stored in the plist as a pickled object, so you have to use the gui to adjust a colour rather than (say) using css syntax.
