Personally, I'd prefer a Preferences GUI, rather than JSON files. If you're going to release on a platform, follow that platform's conventions.
I suspect laziness on the part of the developer in regards to a Preferences GUI, rather than any attempt at a new paradigm.
- simplify 15y agoActually I really like the fact that they're JSON files. It makes it very easy to copy/paste preferences between different machines.
- drivingmenuts 15y agoOK, that's a valid point - however, copying and pasting from the Library/Application Support folder is just as easy (except maybe finding it). Where I have a problem is that it violates the expectations of the platform. It's a Mac application - it has a Preferences GUI. This is not a problem with things like Apache, which, as a service, doesn't even have a front-end; I don't expect it there.
