If you ever get to do first line telephone support for users, you will
know that anything complicated is too complicated.
You will also send lots of happy thoughts to those who invented remote
control for PCs.

I take it you have not tried to connect a client machine to an oracle
server at the time you had to edit the configuration files by hand.
Oracle likes parethesises, lots of them. To a end-user those are about
as useful as XML is.
XML is good when you have a program talking to another program and they
have lots of CPU cycles to spare. It is NOT good for human readable
files. One would think that just reading one of those wonderful XML
books reeinforced that impression.
