It's certainly not the only problem with systems configuration. However, it is a broad problem: it applies to more than just systems. And, as you may have guessed from my examples, I don't really do systems stuff all that much. But I do deal with a bunch of other configuration files and formats!
It's more a comment on config formats in general.
- dasil003 13y agoWell I agree the proliferation of formats is a problem, but I think it's an intractable one. General languages solve the problem of "I can't use config language X because it's missing feature Y", but for every project you bring on board you lose one because they don't want that much power in their config files.
