Maybe. :) There's more than one answer to that question. "unix config files" are technically simple, but they're that makes them weak, too. Ever make or hear of the mistake of adding some leading whitespace to a line in /etc/resolv.conf, for instance? A complex config file needs a validator, cf. apache, samba. At least an XML file can be validated without writing a one-off tool. Seems to me XML is a better solution than inventing another format.
