Opinions on that will vary, and as the saying goes, "everybody is entitled to his own opinions, but not his own facts." I submit as fact that there are many initialization files in each of these formats, and I would be willing to place a wager that the majority of the people on this list have used a text editor to modify at least one file in this category at least once. IOW, in my opinion (and it is only an opinion, not a fact), you are actually helping to make the case that a better format is needed.
